The activities and events around the SFSP efforts will be scheduled more sporadically throughout the months of June, July and some early parts of August. Further details will be provided soon.
In general, we will need volunteer support weekly between the hours of 9:00am through 11:00am and 1:00pm through 4:00pm.
Training and Orientation for this opportunity will be held on:
