WHAT DOES BEING A VOLUNTEER LOOK LIKE?

When you become a Future Front volunteer, you’re typically donating anywhere from five to ten hours of your time per month (it’s up to you!).

Volunteer shifts varyβ€”you might be helping out at a market, running an info table or working a concessions booth.

Depending on what you sign up for shift times also vary. (Usually, a shift is five hours or 10 hours.)
