2024/25 Volunteer Program
Newport is a volunteer club and the majority of our facilities, events and board are volunteer run.
Volunteering at Newport can take many forms; from an hour setting up for an event to a 2 year commitment as a committee lead or Director. It takes help from everyone to run a successful club.
What’s New for the 2024/2025 Season!
We will be introducing a new opportunity to deduct $25 for every hour worked from your 2026 boating fees.
