PCOTC Registration Volunteer

 

Volunteers Needed
for the PCOTC Registration Committee
Looking for an on-going volunteer opportunity that you can do from home?
Do you have strong written communication skills and have an interest in helping Members and Students in registering for PCOTC classes and events?

The Registration Committee may be the perfect volunteer job for you!

The Registration Committee, led by Susan Rosenstadt-Bresler, is looking for additional volunteers (one or two people) to return emails from people contacting registration@pcotc.org on Mondays and/or Wednesdays.

Registration Committee Members must have a familiarity with our sports, our class offerings and prerequisites as potential students often request assistance on class selection. Committee members will also need to become familiar with our class registration process, refund and cancellation policies and be willing to learn the fundamentals of ASAP, our registration program.

This is a weekly on-going volunteer job. Committee members will need to answer emails throughout their assigned day(s) each week. During online registration periods, team members are essentially ‘on-call,' with the heaviest volumes of emails on these days and less email volume during non-registration periods. The Registration Committee is our frontline to successful class registration for many of our members and students.

If you are interested in this critical volunteer opportunity and would like to learn more, please contact Susan Rosenstadt-Bresler (susan.bresler@gmail.com)
