WE'RE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS!

Windsor Power and Sail Squadron, like all USPS and CPS squadrons, is staffed entirely by volunteers. In fact, one of our well known mottoes is"VOLUNTEERS TEACHING SAFE BOATING". Without dedicated people, we would cease to exist. For this reason, we are always looking for CPS members to help us fulfill our goals: to bring safe boating education to the public and foster safety in the boating community. Our squadron can well use additional help with many different roles, including course instruction, co-ordination/staffing of our many promotional and social events, marketing, or even to serve on our executive (what we call our squadron "Bridge").
