🚨 WITHOUT VOLUNTEERS, THERE WILL BE NO QUEENSTOWN JUNIOR ATHLETICS IN 2026/2027 🚨
This is a call for help from our community.
After many years of dedicated service, several of our long-term volunteers and committee members are stepping down. Unless new volunteers come forward, Queenstown Junior Athletics will unfortunately have to go into hibernation next season.
🏃♀️ We urgently need a Junior Athletics Coordinator to help lead the club. The role does not have to be done by one person—the responsibilities can be shared across a small team, with one person overseeing the season.
Key tasks include:
✅ Coordinating Tuesday training sessions
✅ Managing registrations and communications
✅ Organising competition information
✅ Helping with Facebook, emails and administration
✅ Liaising with Southland Athletics and other stakeholders
💙 You won’t be doing it alone. Our current committee is committed to supporting and mentoring new volunteers to ensure a smooth handover.
If you’ve ever thought about giving back to our community or have skills that could help, now is the time. Without volunteers, hundreds of local children will miss the opportunity to participate in athletics.
📩 Please send us a message if you’d like to know more—there’s absolutely no obligation, and we’re happy to meet for a chat.
Please share this post so we can reach as many people as possible. Together, we can keep Queenstown Junior Athletics running for our children and future generations.
