Maine Adaptive Sports seeks volunteers
To the editor,
Interested in making an impact in others’ lives through active participation in recreation and sports? Giving back has never been this fun.
Maine Adaptive Sports and Recreation helps children and adults with disabilities develop skills, enhance independence, and provides enjoyment through active recreation.
We are seeking volunteers for programming at Sunday River, Sugarloaf, Pleasant Mountain, and Pineland Farms – both on-snow (Alpine and Nordic skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing), and off-snow (front desk, photographers, equipment).
Programming starts the first week in January and continues through March. Training occurs primarily in December but will be available during our January-March season.
Our trained staff and volunteers help ensure a safe and positive learning environment for volunteers and participants alike.
Volunteer as many or as few days as you can.
For more information, visit www.maineadaptive.org/volunteer or contact us at info@maineadaptive.org or 207-824-2440, ext. 0.
In addition to joining a community of folks who love spending time in the great outdoors and love helping others to do so, volunteers have access to deep discounts on gear and clothing and can free ski during your volunteer day when not in an active lesson.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
