Participants volunteer 3-4 hours per week and are not permitted to volunteer over 12 hours per week. No service hours will be released until the minimum of 29 hours has been completed.

Please consider carefully whether this time commitment will fit your schedule or other life commitments. You must have the willingness and ability to make a commitment to your volunteer assignment. The department you volunteer in depends on you.
