Volunteers must be willing to serve 10 hours minimum/week and must be income eligible to receive a stipend of $4.00 per hour. The stipend is tax free and is not included as income. Volunteers will need to complete a background check and fingerprints in order to serve. They will also need to complete orientation and agree to additional on-going training, which they will receive a stipend for doing. Volunteers earn paid holidays, personal time and are reimbursed for mileage and portion of meals.
