Volunteer


  • The spirit of volunteerism has been the cornerstone to the success of the Harraseeket Yacht Club since its inception and is vital to its future. It is what makes our club different from other yacht clubs and it fosters a friendly and cooperative environment for all members and their families. HYC members embrace the club’s objective and work hard to achieve its mission.

    As we have grown, coordinating volunteers and volunteer opportunities have become more complex. Using “Sign Up Genius” members can sign up for specific jobs and specific times. Once you have signed up for a specific task, you are committed.
