Snider Hockey relies on the involvement and support of volunteers from across the Delaware Valley. Volunteers are critical to our mission as they:

• Help children put on their equipment
• Coach beginning skaters
• Provide encouragement for participants
• Serve as mentors and role models
• Assist in academic tutoring 

Hockey or skating experience is helpful but not always required. Both female and male volunteers are desired to help students in each locker room before and after practice. On-ice volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. 

How It Works

Prospective volunteers must first email the volunteer coordinator at jmuth@esyhf.org. For the safety of our participants, once conferring with the volunteer coordinator, the applicant will be subject to a background check. After the background check has been completed, the applicant will be presented with volunteer-specific service opportunities.

Volunteers assist the Foundation at After School sessions at rink locations in and around Philadelphia. 

• Snider Hockey hosts 20-40 students who have had little or no exposure to ice hockey. 
• Students arrive at rinks approximately 30 minutes prior to the beginning of practice.
• Snider Hockey, in conjunction with its volunteers, provides the opportunity for students to experience the fun of hockey with the hope that they will develop a passion for the game.
