Volunteer

West Seattle Junior Football & Cheer started in 2007 with a handful of volunteers committed to developing an inclusive football program for the youth in West Seattle.

We are still a 100 percent volunteer organization. There are no paid positions.

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered as our coaches, team parents, chain-team, clock keepers, concessions help, and board members. Every hand helps.

Below is a list of open positions and volunteer opportunities. It's OK to team up and split a position with another person. 

If you are interested in volunteering, or receiving more information, please contact Jessica Meeds, the board volunteer manager.
