Volunteering

Make a difference on water and on land

AQVA's activities rely greatly on the commitment of volunteers like you. Thanks to your help, we are able to make adapted sailing accessible to people living with physical disabilities, allowing everyone to experience a unique experience on the water. Your time, skills, and enthusiasm are essential to our mission.

As a volunteer, you will not only make new friends and create unforgettable memories, but most importantly, you will be a key player in inclusion and autonomy for our sailors. We need you at all levels, whether on water or on land.

On-Water Volunteering

We have a great need for volunteers with good sailing skills to accompany our sailors as sailing companions. This allows us to diversify our services and offer more personalized supervision, complementing our team of instructors.

On-Land Volunteering

Our sailboats are used seven days a week, resulting in wear and frequent maintenance and repair needs. If you have skills in boat maintenance and repair, we would be delighted to have your help in ensuring they remain in good working condition.

We also need volunteers on the dock to help sailors get on and off the boats and assist with docking.

Other Ways to Contribute

The success of our social activities depends largely on the commitment of volunteers like you. Every moment you invest with us makes a real difference in the lives of our members.

Safety First

AQVA has a general liability insurance of $5 million.
However, as with any recreational activity, there is some risk associated with physical effort and, in our case, proximity to water. All volunteers and participants must complete and sign a liability waiver before participating in our activities.

Since 2021, all volunteers in contact with our members on the water must undergo a criminal background check. This procedure is essential to ensure everyone's safety and well-being. During your first visit, you will need to complete a confidential questionnaire.
