We value your availability and flexibility, and we will provide you with sufficient notice and event details to ensure your participation. We can discuss and agree on the number of hours needed for event preparation.

We greatly appreciate the value that volunteers bring to our charity, and if you are interested in dedicating more of your time, we are always open to discussing additional volunteer opportunities with you.
