A big focus of OKC is giving back to the community through our participation as volunteers at events. For many of these events, the league receives funds back from the event organization as a result of our participation. Each OKC team is required to complete 6 credits of volunteer work by the end of the season. Each event volunteer shift is typically one credit. There are also opportunities to volunteer at the field each week. There will be prizes for the team and individual with the most credits at the end of the season.

Please also notify the OKC Volunteer Coordinator Michelle Breen once you have signed up, so we can track you and your team's OKC volunteer credits for the year. Please make sure that you attend any shift that you sign up for, as you are representing OKC. If you should need to cancel any shift that you have signed up for, please notify us as far in advance as possible.

Can & Bottle Returns

 

We are offering credits this year for collecting the can & bottle return bags after games each week. Each shift is worth 1/4 credit, so we are asking people to sign up for 2 days at a time for 1/2 credit. Michelle will coordinate with you to hand off the bags, or they can be returned to the field the following week. Help us recycle & bring in some additional funds for the league!
