When we take a team away to a carnival, this support team needs to increase as our resources get stretched between standard Nippers and the carnival volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Volunteering in surf life saving is FUN and we need you!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Some of the volunteer roles available are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-normal-font-size\">\n<li>Beach setup and pack down<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BBQ duties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Age Manager and Age Manager assistants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water Safety<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Officials (at carnivals)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water Safety at carnivals (which includes IRB Crew and IRB Driver)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">It is crucial that our Volunteer force is strong and willing to support our ever growing Nipper program.
