Abstract: In this chapter, we examine gender and voluntary work in community sport organizations. We first synthesize knowledge from a range of studies outlining the importance of volunteers within community sport organizations as well as gender and women’s invisible labor in community sport. We then investigate intersectional identities (i.e., (dis)ability, working class, BIPOC, LGBTQI+) and issues of power and marginalization. Next, we focus on volunteer involvement in governance and organizational policies and practice that are born from traditional management contexts, forced top down from national to community level sport, and (re)produce and maintain the dominant regime. Based on a politics of hope, the chapter concludes with a discussion of ways forward and provides a commentary on research gaps to advance notions of equity and opportunity for volunteers who have diverse and traditionally marginalized identities.
