Our part-time summer student volunteer program traditionally runs from mid-May through mid-August, but the dates you volunteer are completely up to you. You do not have to commit to specific dates at this time; this is simply to get an idea of your potential availability.   If you are local during the school year, your volunteer period could be extended beyond the summer, if you wish.
