Featured opportunity · Sept. 11–13
Work the table at the Low Point rugby national championship
Each game needs a table crew of four — scorekeeper, timekeeper, 40-second operator, and penalty timekeeper. We train you on RISE's own scoreboard system.

Family camping weekends
Staff the ADA campsites at Meadowmere Park: setup, cooking, campfire, cleanup. Families come as families — volunteers keep the weekend running.
Behind the scenes
Drivers & logistics
Drive vans between the parking lot and the dock, haul gear, pick up food, run errands during tournament weekends.
Tournaments
Tournament crews
Wheelchair rugby and wheelchair football tournaments need scorekeepers, stats trackers, ball people, down-marker operators, setup help, and venue support.
Skills you already have
Coaching, media, fundraising
If you coach a sport, take photos, run a food truck, plan events, or work in fundraising — RISE can use it. Tell us what you'd like to do.
Who volunteers
RISE is disability-led, and participants and household members are part of the volunteer community. Individuals and groups can ask about current opportunities; RISE confirms whether the program, date, group size, and supervision are a fit before a visit.
Your first shift
You will not do it alone
Some general roles can start with on-site orientation; skilled or safety-sensitive roles require additional review. Tell RISE what interests you, and RISE will confirm the preparation and supervision for that specific assignment.
