Why Should I Be an Iowa Games Volunteer
The Iowa Games is a non-profit organization that relies heavily on its volunteers.
For many of our volunteers, it is the feeling of accomplishment, sharing in others' success or just having fun that keeps them returning year after year.
The Iowa Games is a non-profit organization that relies heavily on its officials. All Iowa Games officials, referees, and umpires are volunteers.
