​​​Setup/ Cleanup: All volunteers will be setting and cleaning up ergs, launches, and rowing shells. 

 

Registration: Check-in New Rowers and Make sure lineups are good to go on the water. we have premade lineups but sometimes people no-show or those new visitors who want to add in. Volunteers will communicate lineup changes to on-land volunteers so they can help make necessary adjustments on the dock.

Erg Demo: Help Duke Demostrate and correct erg technique. Help usher new rowers off the balcony and down to the docks to be boated

 

Tour/Wrap up: Volunteer will talk to rowers after they complete their on-the-water session. Give information on youth and adult rowing programs. Give boathouse tour if necessary. Pitch fundraising opportunities on Give Butter.
