NFL season has begun and with the help of ELITE and their Non-Profit Charitable Organization's (NPCO) outreach program, they are seeking volunteers for Chargers home games.

Volunteers Needed:

• Ushers
• Ticket Takers
• Fan Directors

For participating NPCO's, ELITE is offering $10.00 per hour per volunteer.  All funds raised will be donated to their respective charity.  

Volunteers are asked to be at Chargers game 4-hours before kick-off and stay between 2 - 3 hours after kick-off.  An average shift is 6 hours.  So, if a charity provides 25 volunteers per Charger home game, they stand to raise over $15,000 for their nonprofit.
