SFTC Volunteer Points
Why does the club have a Volunteer Points System?
The SFTC Volunteer Points System was designed to recognize and encourage volunteerism within the club.
What Volunteer Service Qualifies?
To be considered in the SFTC volunteer recognition program, volunteer service must be performed at:
-
SFTC owned events*
-
SFTC hired events
-
King & Queen races
-
Kids Festival of miles races
* SFTC-owned events includes races, social events, and board meetings. In addition, annual points are awarded to named SFTC posts such as board members, course measurer, etc. The full list of named SFTC posts can be found on the SFTC Board page. See the SFTC calendar and use the "SFTC owned/hired" or King/Queen filters to see which events qualify for SFTC Volunteer Points.
Who is Eligible?
Only SFTC members can receive volunteer points. A volunteer must be a SFTC member on the day of the event in order to qualify for volunteer points. All members are automatically included in the volunteer points program.
How is Volunteer Service Reported?
Race directors or liaisons at qualifying events should report volunteer service to the SFTC Volunteer Coordinator after the event is over.
