Inclement weather policy: We work rain or shine! If weather conditions are extreme or unsafe, we will notify you the morning of your volunteer day and work to reschedule or cancel your project.

Age Policy: All volunteers must be age 16 or older. Volunteers under the age of 18 will be issued a red nametag upon arrival to help us identify youth volunteers and tasks that can be issued to them. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 21 who works alongside the youth. One adult can supervise up to 5 youth volunteers.
