What are the requirements to become a volunteer?

Our ideal volunteer possesses patience, cultural sensitivity, flexibility, and a sense of humor. Previous experience is not required; we provide any needed training. Availability on week-days is important as our greatest needs are during office hours.

How much time would I commit to volunteering?

Volunteer jobs generally fall into two categories: long-term jobs and occasional, or on-call, jobs. Long-term jobs require weekly schedules and an initial commitment of three months is preferred. This provides consistency for both staff and clients. On-call commitments are best for volunteers with limited availability.
