Opportunities to Get Involved

Conference Support: Conferences depend on volunteers to put on their in-season events each year. These events are critical to the success of the organization and the experience of each student athlete. Each Conference differs in their size and breadth of need.

This year, the Northern California Conference needs help in the following areas:

Freestyle judges
Freestyle course maintenance
Course setters, including snowboard
Social media help
Forerunners, especially snowboarders

Committee Involvement: We often need some of the very skill-sets that our members have been pursuing academically. We are always seeking to cultivate new leaders to help us uphold our mission statement and ensure the ongoing success of the organization.

The USCSA has many committees that meet regularly to bring recommendations to the Board of Directors. Committee membership varies and includes student reps, industry experts, parents and alumni.

Learn more about the various committees within the USCSA and how you might contribute your skills.

Student Representatives: The Student Representatives are the voice of the student population and make sure the priorities of our student athletes are represented. Each year, the USCSA Board selects up to six applicants who serve a two-year term beginning June 1. Student athletes may serve in this position within five years following graduation.

Benefits of being a Student Rep:

Voting member on committee(s)
Support the direction of USCSA growth
Personal recommendations for future employment
Networking with volunteers in diverse professional fields
Covered travel costs to the Annual Conference
Subsidized travel costs to National Championships
