Commitment

Volunteering can be a rewarding activity, but it is also a serious commitment. Volunteering requires that you will be willing to learn, be reliable, and be responsible.

• Volunteer one day a week Monday-Friday from 8 am - 5 pm
  
  
• Participants volunteer a four hour shift per week
  
  
• Students will wear a Sequoia Volunteer shirt with black pants during their shift (shirt provided)
  
  
• Must be able to commit to 8 of the 9 weeks of the summer program

Please consider carefully whether this time commitment will fit your schedule as the departments depend on their volunteers.
