What type of projects do you like doing? What type of duties would you rather not do? *
(this will help me know where to best utilize your skills and place you where you will be happiest!)
Why do you want to volunteer with us?*
Knowing your reasoning will help me place you. Some volunteers want to help because they love the misson, others are looking to expand their skill set. Both reasons are great! Just think about it and let me know!
