Understanding VSF Hours & How to Volunteer with POINT

Understanding VSF Hours & How to Volunteer with POINT

Volunteering is a core part of the Team Summit Colorado community. Through events, races, and fundraisers, families help support our athletes, strengthen our programs, and keep costs manageable for all. To support this, Team Summit uses a Volunteer Service Fee (VSF) system paired with POINT, our volunteer tracking platform.

How the Volunteer Service Fee (VSF) Works

When you register your athlete, your family is charged a VSF. Think of this as a refundable deposit you earn back by volunteering during the season. VSF requirements vary by program:
  • Intro & Devo Programs: Earn back $400 after completing 25 volunteer hours
  • Competitive (Comp) Programs: Earn back $400 after completing 30 volunteer hours
  • Nordic Programs: Earn back $300 after completing 5 Nordic event hours
Volunteer hours are tracked per family, even if you have more than one athlete.

Volunteering Made Easy with POINT

Team Summit uses POINT to make volunteering simple and transparent. Once you create your account and join the Team Summit organization, you can browse available opportunities, sign up for shifts, and track your hours — all in one place. With POINT, you can:
  • View and sign up for volunteer opportunities year-round
  • Automatically track hours after checking in at events
  • Monitor your progress toward your VSF requirement
  • Request missing hours if needed
There’s no paperwork and no guesswork — POINT keeps everything in one place.

What Happens at the End of the Season?

At the end of the season, your completed volunteer hours are reviewed and your VSF is credited. You then get to choose what to do with that credit:
  • Roll it over to a future season
  • Donate it back to support Team Summit programs and scholarships
  • Request a refund

Why Your Time Matters

From race days to events to fundraisers like Eat, Ski, and Be Merry, volunteers play a vital role in making Team Summit thrive. Every shift supports our athletes, our coaches, and the community that makes Team Summit special. Ready to get started?
