Your time commitment will depend on the volunteer role you take. As a volunteer we depend on you to complete your scheduled shifts. We do understand that from time to time certain situations may arise that prevent you from doing so. Please alert the Volunteer Coordinator of any scheduled absences as far in advance as possible so that an appropriate substitute may be found. In the event of an unscheduled absence- illness or emergency- please alert us as soon as possible, preferably before your scheduled shift begins.
