North Shore Parent Organization
The premise of having a parent organization is to support NSGA’s activities by creating a community environment for the benefit of our gymnasts. There is a need to organize and employ the many talents of North Shore families. As a non-profit organization, NSGA relies heavily on the volunteer support of its member families. The NSPO will be a conduit for not only creating a welcoming environment for gymnasts and parents, but also organizational support the revenue-generating events for the gym by coordinating the volunteer time of each team family.
