Volunteer Opportunity at GLASA

Great Lakes Adaptive Sports has a number of opportunities for students to volunteer.

  Sleds Are Coming THIS SUNDAY, January 29th, 2017 Lake Forest College Ice Rink; Maplewood Rd, Lake Forest, IL Students will get credit if they arrive PRIOR to puck drop (2:00 pm) and check in with me and stay through the game cheering on and supporting the GLASA Falcon’s Sled Hockey team. They must check in with me after the game as well if they wish to receive credit. If you’ve never seen sled hockey played, this will be a great first experience to how the game is played. **Credit given only if accepted by the teacher prior to the event.
