Free WSCA Membership for Volunteer Women Ski Coaches

May 31, 2022 by Kait Miller

The Women Ski Coaches Association (WSCA) celebrates all women who coach, including volunteers who work so hard to keep programs running. To honor all this hard work, the WSCA is extending free membership to all volunteer women ski coaches. If this is you, reach out HERE. If this is not you but you’d like to support the work of the WCSA with a membership, you can sign up HERE.

A little bit about the mission of the WSCA (from their website):

The Women Ski Coaches Association (WSCA) works to develop, retain, and advance women in ski coaching leadership.

DEVELOP EXEMPLARY WOMEN SKI COACHES QUALIFIED FOR LEADERSHIP POSITIONS BY

  1. Recruiting female athletes that exhibit coaching potential

  2. Sharing knowledge, experience, and expertise within WSCA network

  3. Funding professional development opportunities to ensure all coaches have access in lieu of employment status

RETAIN WOMEN SKI COACHES BY

  1. Collaborating with existing organizations to share research and stories that demonstrate why women coaches matter and facilitate a conversation around this challenging topic

  2. Supporting strong female leadership at all levels of sport (local, regional, national, international governance)

  3. Promoting professional standards in ski culture and attempting to change workplace norms that prevent equal opportunity

ADVANCE WOMEN SKI COACHES BY

  1. Connecting women coaches and encouraging mentorship through the WSCA network

  2. Educating employers on the bias women face in the hiring process by teaching people to hire women based on potential

  3. Discussing career goals and providing experience based career counseling within the WSCA network

  4. Stewarding career pathways for qualified women candidates in skiing leadership at all levels (local, regional, national, international) and advocating for women to fulfill crucial decision making positions when hired
