Volunteering at the Lee Kay Public Shooting Range can be an extremely rewarding experience with a wide variety of opportunities. Volunteering involves working with adults, youth and special interest groups to help ensure a fun and safe experience.

Our volunteers are extremely important to the LKPSR facility; without them, the facility would not function but the role also comes with some important conditions and responsibilities. If you have any questions about any aspect of your volunteer service, please feel free to ask the LKPSR management.

Screening Process

Screening potential volunteers is essential to maintaining the high standards of the LKPSR. This page gives an outline of the process. Management will interview each volunteer applicant. Selection criteria include but are not limited to:

• Willingness to have, and successful completion of, a background check through the National Crime Identification System
