Clay seeks volunteers, will post applications online and require background checks
Summary
City will post volunteer applications on Clayparks.org and collect volunteers to serve as commissioners, commissioners' assistants and on the parks board; background checks were discussed as a requirement for those working with youth.
Organizers said the program will rely heavily on volunteers and that a City of Clay volunteer application will collect personal information, interests and references. The forms will be available on Clayparks.org and on-site; volunteers working with youth are expected to undergo background checks similar to partner organizations’ requirements.
Speakers described commissioner roles (one per sport with two assistants), a parks board to review scholarship applications and a part-time administrative staff member to support scheduling, uniforms and concessions. The mayor said the city will post volunteer forms and review submissions in coordination with parks staff.
