modestly, no tank tops, skirts, dresses, sandals, low cut tops,
baggy pants, hats, or clothing with inappropriate
images/words/gang affiliations. Closed toe shoes are required.
All prospective volunteers must attend a mandatory volunteer
orientation. These are held the first Friday of most months at

the schedule and to R.S.V.P.
The fingerprinting and background check process can take up to

as you will not be allowed to volunteer until you have been
cleared.

volunteer from a parent/legal guardian.
