The Newberg Booster Club is a dynamic group that enjoys working together, supporting our athletic programs and getting to know the Newberg students. We are willing to take on new projects to support our athletes and to foster school spirit. With the budget cuts that our athletic programs are facing next year, the work that the Booster Club is doing will be more important than ever. Please look through the following list and consider becoming a part of our team.

Volunteers
Website Coordinator – This is job is easy and fun for anyone who know their way around a website! We now have the ability to add video clips from our home games and there are links to schedules, information about upcoming events and more. We need help keeping things current.
Team Liaisons– Each NHS athletic team will need to have a parent that acts as the link between the Booster Club and your teams. Ideally, the team liaison should be able to attend the first 30 minutes of the monthly Booster meeting to learn about what’s going on with the schools athletic programs and share ideas about how Boosters can help these programs. The team liaisons helped present program grant requests for equipment, supplies and team expenses and the Booster Club was able to fund over $22,000 in requests this year!
