Softball Ontario's Coaches Program

Softball Ontario Volunteer Awards

 

Volunteer Award

Volunteers are the backbone of Softball Ontario, its programs and services. They donate countless hours and provide expertise in return for out-of-pocket expenses, and maybe ... a thank you. Making volunteers feel essential, valuable and appreciated, is important if sport associations like Softball Ontario wish to continue, because without volunteers a number, if not all, of Softball Ontario's programs would cease to operate.

A simple thank-you letter is one form of volunteer recognition, but Softball Ontario and the Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation have developed other ways to recognize individuals who have made a significant contribution to the development of Softball Ontario, its programs and/or services. The following outlines Softball Ontario's and the Ministry's Recognition Programs.
