I understand that the hours needed are varied. But could you give me some kind of time frame. Are there a specific number of hours, days, weeks/months one needs to commit to? Is there an orientation that needs to be attended? Are potential volunteers given a tour of the Senior Citizen Center? Is there a certain start date?
Thank You, Maxine Friedman friedmanm7140@aol.com

What a great piece! Not only is it important to give back to the community, but I have nieces and nephews who need a certain amount of hours for school each year. these are great ideas
