Poirier Sport & Leisure Complex Volunteer Opportunities

Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex offers a variety of volunteer opportunities in Aquatics, Ice and Fitness. Volunteers may participate in activities such as swimming lessons, ice skating lessons as well as provide assistance in the weight room and fitness classes.

Aquatics

Swimming Lesson Assistant
Bring your enthusiasm to Coquitlam’s Aquatic Staff and gain experience in swim instruction. Duties may include 1-on-1 support to children and/or supporting a class under the direction of an instructor.

Special Event / Birthday Party Assistant
Volunteers help with birthday parties and special events by assisting staff with setting up and running activities at birthday parties or special events. This volunteer opportunity does not require the volunteer to have completed Swim Kids 10.

Ice

Skate Instructor Assistant
Skate Instructor Assistants will help in the delivery of learn to skate lessons for kids aged 3 to 12. They may be asked to give support to specific children or help the group at large. The learn to skate program is focused on the basics so volunteers do not need to be exceptional skaters.

Guest Ambassador Program

Guest Ambassador Assistant
The Guest Ambassador works under the direction of the Recreation Program Coordinator and will assist with directional information, special event support (Farmer's Markets, Ice Shows, Tournaments) or as a greeter during busy times at the facility.
