How many hours per week?
Most of our programs run for 1 hour per week for 8 weeks. Life happens and volunteers sometimes have to miss but we ask that our volunteers try to pick a program that will work well with their schedule. At least 24 hour notice is appreciated if going to miss a program, if possible. Volunteers are a critical part of our success!
