OCST is a non-profit organization that depends on volunteers for operation. Without the help of volunteers, it would be impossible to meet the administrative duties of the team. For that reason, OCST families (with swimmers in the Explore/Red through Performance/Gold groups) are expected to serve volunteer hours annually. Effective October 1, 2021 all OCST families are expected to serve 9-24 hours of time annually depending on which squad your swimmer is in. Families with more than one swimmer on the team, service hours are assigned to the highest swimmer within the family.

Members’ service hour obligation for the year runs from October 1 through September 30. All service hours worked must be logged by members in the online form. Service hours not logged online may not be counted toward the annual obligation. Throughout the year, you can monitor your volunteer activity on OCST’s website under the My Account section, then My Invoice/Payment. OCST confirms service hours from the online form on a quarterly basis. If families are unable to meet the volunteer requirement, they are expected to buyout these hours at a rate of $20.00 per hour at year end or upon leaving the team.
In summary, service hours are currently 9 to 24 hours per family per year billed out at $20/hr.
