Want to be a mentor?

Hi all,

We want to extend the opportunity to folks who have been volunteers for over a year to step up as mentors to newer volunteers. We did this informally during the last training group where if a new volunteer took over an older volunteers shift, the older volunteer offered themselves to be available for tips/tricks, info about the shift.

If you are interested in being a mentor in a more general sense, please let Teresa know. We can match you up with one of the new volunteers or with a volunteer coming in with the next training in February.

Thanks!
