Volunteer Resources

Workshops

To sign up for workshops, email:  volunteer@behindthebook.org with each program code, date, and time slot(s) you choose. If there is more than one volunteer workshop in a program, we encourage you to sign up for as many as you can. Students benefit from, and you will enjoy working with, the same group throughout a project.

The PC will follow up closer to the workshop date with more information about its content and your role. If you must cancel, be sure to let the volunteer coordinator or the program coordinator know as soon as possible.
