Co-Op Jobs
The Corvallis Indoor Park runs as a co-op, which means that every member has a role in helping out. To keep membership costs low, we require each member to volunteer for 4 jobs a year: 2 in the fall and 2 in the spring (toy cleaning is equal to 2 jobs). You will choose your jobs from the list of available options when you register.
Once you sign up for a job, you are responsible for showing up to complete it. You may also trade with another member or pay another member to complete your job; this must be facilitated by you and is not the responsibility of the Jobs Manager. Please email us regarding any job trades or substitutes so that we can update our records. This way, you can avoid getting an email regarding missed jobs.
Please contact CIP for the list of people who are willing to pick up extra jobs.
