Group volunteering
Group volunteering refers to groups from different schools, or vocational programs that come to Free Geek to learn life and job skills. They come here once week, and are have councilors with them that have been trained on different jobs in the recycling area. Some groups have their students check in and later log their hours on their own, other groups might hand a list of students and the hours worked to a front desk person to be entered. Groups who only want to volunteer once, should be logged here: One_time_group_volunteering
If you have questions, feel free to ask Liane, she is their contact person here at Free Geek.
See the Group Volunteering Policy for more details
