Volunteer Service Fee
What is VSF or Volunteer Service Fee?
As a 501(c)3 non-profit we rely heavily on volunteer support for our team. Volunteer service helps keep our costs down by off setting tuition, therefore directly benefiting each member of the program. The VSF is a 'work deposit' that enables our club to raise money, run events, give back to the community that supports us, and have fun all at the same time. Team Summit is able to run successful programs in large part due to our amazing and helpful volunteers!
How does it work?
First, print out the Volunteer Service Log. Second, sign up for events, races, and competitions, following the information below. Third, have an event supervisor sign your Volunteer Service Log for each event you volunteer at. Finally turn in your Log to the Team Summit office via fax at 970-968-2620, e-mail at Cora@TeamSummit.org, or mail it to PO Box 3307, Copper Mountain, CO 80443 to receive the credit to your account to apply to next year’s VSF or refund checks are issued in September.

VSF pointers to help you understand receiving your hard earned credit
1. Completed logs are logs in which you have earned at least your number of hours and must be turned into the Team Summit office by June 30, 2010
2. Team Summit does not accept partially completed logs for partial credit
3. Athletes must be at least 18 to earn VSF credit. For every hour volunteering they earn ½ a VSF dollar/credit
4. Office work from the Team Summit office is currently not available for VSF hours
5. If you have questions or are having trouble satisfying VSF hours, you can communicate with the Team Summit office well before June 30, 2010 to learn about opportunities specific to your needs
6. Ski Ball donations that fetch $500 or more in turn gets you ½ of your VSF credited
7. For races and competitions, only those hosted by Team Summit count towards VSF hours
8. For every hour volunteered you earn one VSF dollar/credit (except for athletes under the age of 18, see # 3 above)
How will I know how much my VSF fee is?
The amount is based on the athlete with the most participation days in the program. For example, if you have a child in the Development (Devo) program and another in our Full Time Early Release program, you would be responsible for the Full Time VSF commitment. Please see the amounts listed beside each Program Price on page 5. If the VSF deposit is $250 you will need to volunteer at least 25 hours; $350 you need to volunteer at least 35 hours; $500 you will need to volunteer at least 50 hours to receive your VSF credit.
