Q: Can I apply for a Volunteer Hardship?
A: We do not have a “hardship application. If you think you may not be able to complete your Work Share requirement for the season, we will help you come up with solutions, so you are able to complete the required hours. Our goal is to have everyone involved. If you have extreme circumstances that impact your ability to meet your hours, the Boosters Board can review your case and propose a solution. Please reach out to volunteers@kingaquaticboosters.com as soon as possible if this is the case. Do not wait until the end of the season to have your case reviewed.

Q: Should I turn in Work Share hours worked past my required hours?
A: Yes, please send in all hours worked so that we can keep accurate hours of all positions, hours and jobs for future reference.

Q: What if I signed up to volunteer and then am not able to? What do I do?
A: If you can no longer work a shift, you must cancel before that deadline or find a suitable replacement if the deadline has closed. If you have an immediate problem, contact: volunteers@kingaquaticboosters.com 

Q: Whom do I go to if I have questions or concerns?
A: Please address all your Work Share concerns to: volunteers@kingaquaticboosters.com. The coaches are not involved in the Work Share requirements, reporting, fees, or exceptions. The Boosters oversees the entire Work Share program; all information must be directed to the email address above.
