Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer Opportunities

Positions are available to volunteer in many different roles. CBI will provide specific training for each role in order to ensure our volunteers are well prepared to produce high quality, consistent experiences. CBI membership is requisite to volunteer with us.

Instructor

Volunteer instructors are tasked with teaching classes to our adult members.  Volunteers will present a CBI developed curriculum in classroom and on the water settings. This position is responsible for managing group classes, presenting curriculum using a variety of methods to adapt to various learning styles, ensuring safety by monitoring their classes and reporting any potential hazards to the dockmaster.

Volunteer Ambassador

Volunteer ambassadors assist staff and represent CBI at various community events, such as open houses and boat shows.

Maintenance Department

Volunteers in the maintenance department are welcome in assisting our maintenance department with repairing and maintaining boats and equipment; skilled volunteers may be asked to take on projects of their own.

Those looking for a more casual volunteer opportunity may join one of the seasonal work parties! They focus on hauling, maintaining, and launching our fleet in the fall, winter, and spring respectively.

Corporation

If you are already a volunteer and are looking to be even more involved, join our corporation and become a part of CBI’s organizing body. This is a great chance to support CBI through preserving its heritage for future generations.
