Dressage Association of Southern California - Volunteer Incentive Program

The Dressage Association of Southern California (DASC) offers its volunteering members great rewards!  Even non-members can earn work credits that can be used for a variety of DASC events and memberships.

HOW TO VOLUNTEER

Contact the Show Manager/Secretary of the show/event where you want to volunteer. Contact information is available on the show premium and on the DASC calendar at www.socaldressage.com.  Whether you like to scribe, ring steward, run tests, work in the office, or do special projects, there are many opportunities to get even more in return!

HOW IT WORKS

YOU will need to send an e-mail to DASC to report your hours after each event, and your ongoing progress will be available online at any time. This is how WE keep track of your hours, the log is a backup in case we are missing something for you.

In an effort to help you keep track of your hours (should we miss some of your time or update incorrectly) the first time you volunteer, you should to print out a Volunteer Log here ( the show manager may also be able to provide one onsite, but no guarantees!), where you can log your hours and have the show manager/secretary sign off on your time.  KEEP this log throughout the year to help keep track of your hours!!   If there is a discrepancy between what we have on file and what you think you have - we can use the signed logs for verification. 

Work credits can be used to defray the costs of DASC membership, Championship show expenses, educational/clinics and more.  The more you generously give your time, the more benefit that will come back to you!  

Even if you are a non-competing volunteer, work credits can also be used in a drawing for great prizes at our annual awards dinner – it’s good for everyone!

•  Credits are valid during the calendar year that they are earned.
• In order to "cash in" your credits, you must request this by Dec. 31st of that year. Send your request to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

5 days of scribing or running tests throughout the year  could pay for a class at the championship show, annual award dinner tickets, or DASC membership and more.  We will also hold a drawing at the end of the year for great prizes for unused work credits.  There is no limit to how many work credits you can earn in a year.

Members are encouraged to maintain their own work credit records but are *required* to report them to the DASC office after each event to make sure they are recorded properly.
