Please consider volunteering on Monday, Aug. 22 to help make a positive first impression and get the year started on the right foot.

Shifts are available in 30-minute slots from 8 a.m.-Noon. Volunteers can sign up for more than one shift.

If you can help, please sign up for your preferred time and location online.
