| Volunteer Duties |
Donating six to eight hours a month, spread over the course of one academic school year (August-June), through a combination of phone calls, face-to-face time and group activities. Volunteers must submit a monthly report via email, attend mentor training workshops, participate in group activities with other mentors and mentees, and donate time to community service projects and events sponsored throughout the year (such as ice-skating, movie night, GS Warriors game, beach trips, etc.) Volunteers can participate in the individual mentoring program or group mentoring program. The group mentoring program requires a minimum of 5 hours a month. Volunteers meet at Ocala Middle School every other Thursday from 1:30-3pm to help with school activities. Email or call for more information about this program. ARCC accepts applicants year-round, but prefers the academic school year. |
