Volunteer Opportunities

 

 

USTA North Carolina has many volunteers that serve throughout our state. We have a USTA North Carolina Board as well as Committees that serve two-year terms. Volunteer commitments begin January 1 of the even year and end December 31 of the odd year (i.e. the upcoming term runs January 2026 through December 2027).

​

We have made significant changes to our Board structure for 2026-27 and forward. To view these changes click here. To apply for Board Positions for the 2026-2027 term please click here.  Our Board typically meets in person twice a year—once during Tennis Weekend and once at our Community Development Workshop. These are important events, so we ask that applicants make note of the dates and plan to attend. Both meetings offer valuable opportunities, not only during the Board sessions but also through committee meetings and other programming. Occasionally, there may also be a virtual meeting scheduled at another time during the year. 

​

For Committee responsibilities, it is good to know that we do have committee face-to-face meetings at Tennis Weekend. All others are generally virtual. Some of our committees are advisory, and time spent is limited to an as-needed basis. Others have specific jobs to carry out, and meetings occur to help that process along. Each committee has staff liaisons who do the day-to-day work of the committee. Our staff is there to carry out policies and procedures set by the committees. There is also a Board Liaison assigned to most committees. That role is to communicate or interpret to the Board committee positions along with the committee chair.   To apply for committee positions for the 2026-27 term click here.

Our 20+ committees are broken into five committee categories. When applying, you will be asked to indicate your category preferences:

 

• Administrative & Advisory

• Adult Play Division

• Junior Play Division

• Community Development 

• Promotion, Marketing, & Recognition

​

If you would like to know more about the Committees in each of these categories, please see our 2026-27 Committee Descriptions Draft.

We do have Volunteer support for host hotel room nights and mileage to and from the meetings. To read the full policy please click here.
