Program Assistants

The Newmarket Skating Club is a not-for-profit organization that absolutely depends on the generosity of its members and Program Assistants are no exception. They provide valuable guidance on the ice, helping younger skaters practice what coaches are teaching them in a fun and rewarding environment.

Volunteering as a PA counts towards mandatory volunteer hours which are required of all Ontario High School-aged students or PAs can choose to receive “Club Dollars” that can be used towards future registration fees. We also offer compensation in Gift Cards.  PA-ing is also a good opportunity to ask for reference letters for future employment.


What are the requirements to be a Program Assistant?

For CanSkate and PreCanskate sessions:
