How do I get involved?
All potential volunteers with CRW go through an interview/orientation process prior to any assignments being made. Because we want to ensure quality in all of our offerings, we are seeking individuals who are motivated, responsible, and enthusiastic about the participation in our programs. Each individual who volunteers must complete a CRW Volunteer Application and Volunteer Enrollment form, meet with a member of our staff, select appropriate options for assignments from an available list of opportunities, and follow through on those assignments. We encourage interested individuals to contact our office early in the semester since we are limited in the number of students we can accept.
