Change of Plans? Did you know that *20%* of our volunteer slots are filled up by people who never show up? We understand that plans change. Keeping us posted on whether you can attend your project is an easy way to help us make a 20% bigger impact in the community. When you find out that you cannot attend a volunteer event it is very important to do two things: 1. Let the volunteer leader know that you cannot attend the project. His or her contact info will be in the email you received confirming your project registration. 2. Remove yourself from the project, so someone else can sign up to take your place. It’s easy. Just login. Click on “My Projects.” Click “Remove me.”
