Required Time Commitment
Applicants must be able to commit to volunteering on a weekly basis for 2-3 hours each week and to a minimum of 6 months AND 40 hours of volunteering. If you are not available to volunteer consistently for the next six months, we ask that you hold your application until you are available to fulfill this commitment.
