What is the time commitment?
Volunteers must commit to attend all the training, though they may work with the coordinator to substitute alternative equivalent education.
There will be 16 training days. Classes will be held two days per week for eight weeks in March and April, primarily on San Juan and Orcas Islands.After your training you will provide 100 hours of community service over the next two years. There are lots of options and flexibility for setting your own volunteer schedule.
