Tampa Bay HEAT
2022-2023 School Year Registration
You can join the HEAT any time!
- Complete your registration form and all waivers (all done online!)
- Volunteer Requirements: We love offering so many activities to our HEAT families! The HEAT is a volunteer driven organization and we need many hands to offer so much for your family. Each family is required to volunteer for at least two volunteer opportunities during the school year. There are jobs of all sizes, for people with all kinds of talents. Some take as little as an hour or two for the entire year!!!
Volunteer Buy Out If you are in a season of life that you can't volunteer, we do offer a buy out option. Please note that this buy out option takes care of your HEAT volunteer requirement but does not include volunteering for activities/events that require each family participating to pitch in some way. For example, HEAT Wave Sports requires each family to assist in some way (coaching, clean up, hauling equipment, etc.)
The Prorated HEAT Family Registration is $45 for the 2nd half of the 2022-2023 School Year (through May 2023). If you are in a season of life where volunteering is difficult for you, you may pay a buy out of $25. Please note this buy out covers your HEAT Volunteer Opportunity but does not release you from volunteering for events/activities where participants are required to assist in some way (clean up, set up, bring items, etc.)
You may pay by cash, check (payable to Tampa Bay HEAT), or online. Mail to Tampa Bay HEAT 1011 Knowles Rd. Brandon, FL 33511, or drop by the Homeschool Resource Center 307 S. Parsons Ave. Brandon, 33511. Membership fees are non-refundable!
