Step 2: Attend 60 minute informational tour

Prospective volunteers must attend a 60 minute tour prior to volunteering.
Tours are typically offered weekly at each location. We suggest touring at the locations where you prefer to volunteer.

Step 3: Join the team

After you attend a tour, you’ll work with the volunteer coordinator to find a volunteer role based on your interests and availability.
All shifts are scheduled in advance.
All volunteers must be 14 years of age or older (with or without an adult).
