I was President of the Board of a youth league for quite a few years and I am still on the Board (17 years total now). I never spent anywhere near the time doing that job as I did officiating. Besides, if we didn't pay the refs, we wouldn't get any. Many of ours are HS kids. Part of the reason we use them is to provide them with a decent paying part time job. That's part of our mission, too. Quite a few of our Board members are volunteer coaches, but only two of us ref.

BTW - I do volunteer ref for Special Olympics. There's a difference between a "regular" non-profit and a charity.
