WSU
Extension offers a variety of in-depth volunteer training programs.
Each program consists of 25 to 60 hours of education. In return, volunteers
pay back the same number of hours within the year, helping consumers
in the community. This can be done a number of ways, depending on
the interests and skills of the volunteers. For more information contact
us. |
