Some volunteer positions require a standard, recurring schedule while others may operate on a more flexible, or as needed, basis. Volunteers are generally asked to make a good faith commitment of at least 3 months and to perform 2-4 hours of volunteer service per month. In order to provide excellent customer service, all volunteers are expected to arrive on time when scheduled and give advance notice if they are not able to come in for their volunteer shift.
