Volunteering at AJFC can be a significantly rewarding experience for those who take up the opportunity. Like most community football clubs, Volunteers are the lifeblood of Abbotsford Juniors Football Club. We are very thankful to those from amongst the AJFC community who freely give of their time to allow the Club to do what it does best; offer the chance for everyone to learn, play and enjoy their football.
The Club is always on the look-out for those who can assist, even for an hour or two. If you have an hour here and there to help out, we want to hear from you. By registering your interest on a Volunteer list you’ll join a contact list that we’ll reach out to when we have need, and if you can spare the time, we’d love your assistance. It’s that simple.
Got a spare hour or two? Abbotsford Juniors would love to hear from you…
