JXC has multiple opportunities and needs for parent volunteers: weekly team feeds every Thursday during season, Camp Shaggy chaperones, medical help, long run help and more. JXC will also host 2 home meets this coming season for which we will need volunteers.  All of these events could not happen without your time and support.

Jackson Cross Country Family Expectations

 

Our Jackson Cross Country student-athletes benefit from a robust, enhanced team experience that far exceeds training and meets.  Many of the “perks” provided come from fundraising and volunteer efforts led by the Jackson Cross Country Parents Board and supported by YOU, the families of the runners. In order to sustain these benefits, family members of runners are required to commit to a minimum of 2 volunteer opportunities throughout the season.

 

What is the Jackson Cross Country Parents Board?

Jackson Cross Country Parents Board is a 501(c)(3) non-profit booster organization which supports the Jackson Cross Country program.  The group is composed of 10-15 elected volunteers who are typically, but not required to be, parents of current and former JXC runners. The Parents Board can be reached via email jxcparentsboard@gmail.com.
