VOLUNTEERING AT GATES

Interested in volunteering at one of the country's best public tennis centers? Read on for general info and a brief FAQ.

Volunteers are an essential part of the formula for any successful public tennis center.  Our volunteers come from all corners of the city and a variety of backgrounds; from Lawyers to Artists to High School Students.  Your unique set of skills can most likely be used in a creative way at Gates. Our Volunteer program has everything from Accounting to Zoology!  (ok - not Zoology, but more than many realize.)


Please complete this application to be considered to join our wonderful team of volunteers. We will add you to receive announcements about upcoming opportunities.  Look for our Volunteer Meet-n-Greets which are held a couple of times per year at Gates Tennis Center; that also serve as an orientation.  We look forward to having you on our team!
