Off-The-Field Admin Roles

Rather than helping out only with one particular team, parents may choose to take on a role that benefits their division or the SM AYSO region as a whole, and these roles are vital to keeping the organization functioning. Many roles can be done from home on a flexible schedule. (Safe Haven online training & certification will be required for many roles.) If you scroll down and find something that suits your skills and schedules, please be proactive about emailing the appropriate contact on the Contacts Page, or if you’re not sure, reach out to the Director of Volunteer Recruitment.
