We'll need volunteers for most things if not all, here's some of those places! Some need more volunteers than others.
Here are some brief explanations of the various jobs available. More details can be obtained by attending a meeting or contacting one of the chairs.
Criminal record checks will be required for all volunteers at Dry Grad. These checks will be run through Lake City Secondary School.
