How Can You Become A Volunteer?
To volunteer you will need to meet the program coordinator of your choice. Choose one (or four) areas to volunteer. You will need a c-pic for the safety of those you are helping. As a child, known to the community I just needed my mom to agree.
If you are volunteering for school credit you will need paper work from the school for the program coordinator to sign. You will also need fun and a good attitude. Having a skill to share is important too.
Elaine Jefferies: Education and training. Extension 306 can help with this as she works with students and adults thinking of a career change or want to further their education for a job.
