Volunteering at Northwest Fencing Center takes on many forms! As a non-profit, NWFC is committed to keeping operating costs as low as possible so we can keep providing fencing to our communities.
Volunteers help NWFC operate efficiently by assisting in many areas. Volunteers help run tournaments, host fencing demonstrations, special events, fundraising and even keep the club neat and clean.
When you volunteer at NWFC you will learn more about fencing, meet other members of the community, help develop the sport of fencing, and gain a sense of investment in the club. We encourage all members of the NWFC community to volunteer, whether they are athletes, parents, or friends.
How to volunteer at NWFC
Watch for special announcements in the club emails and keep an eye out for a sign-up sheet at the front desk.
Volunteer Hours & Matching:
Hours tracking is also very important for middle/high school volunteers and adults whose companies match donations are all vital to the success of the club.
Some companies will match volunteer hours with a direct donation to the club. Please check if your employer will match volunteer hours and be sure to note this when you sign-up. We will send you an email reminder to log your hours with your employer.
