It takes a lot of time, energy, and hard work to make ECYB run smoothly. What we have found is that ECYB is only as good as what we all, as members, contribute. Our current Volunteer Coordinator is  .

ECYB's policy regarding volunteer hours requires each member to provide 5 volnteer hours for a team job and an additional 5 hours for a league level job. League level jobs are those that help the entire league overall.
