No volunteers = No club!

Harrogate Harriers Juniors is run entirely by our wonderful volunteers - without them we do not have a club!

We are always keen to hear from parents of athletes, or others in the community who would like to get involved, enabling us to continue to offer training and competition opportunities to our athletes.

We tend to retain specifc roles to manage the different facets of the Junior’s side of the club, however, if you have a particular skillset or passion that you feel could bring something to the club, we’d love to hear from you!

You’ll find our current vacancies below!
