College Volunteers
College Volunteers enrolled in a local university or college are welcome to apply. Participation in the program requires a program fee of $55. This fee covers the cost of your volunteer t-shirt and your background check.
Junior Volunteers
Rising high-school freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors may participate in our Junior Volunteer program. Our Junior Volunteer Summer Program Application opens each year in February.
