Is this for life?
No!  We ask for your help during the year you sign up.  At the end of that year we ask if you’d like to continue. Need to drop out before? That’s fine, everything is ‘opt in’ anyway for a volunteer!  Please let us know you are done so we won’t bother you.

ANYONE can volunteer?  
Yes; 99% of the current “Staff” and volunteers never even knew each other before they started volunteering.  We aren’t a clique, and never have been.  What brings us together – helping the community in Oklahoma!  

What’s the difference between a VOLUNTEER and a STAFF member?
We are all volunteers; no current position is paid.  A volunteer is asked when an event comes up if they can help.  Staff members have taken on more duties; so they have more expected regularly of them.  ( See Staff descriptions for each role’s duties )
