What is a typical volunteer workday like?
Long! The workday usually begins at 8 A.M., which means volunteers are required to be at the job site by 7:30 A.M. Work lasts until 5 P.M. Often, the work will run past 5 P.M., depending on what needs to be finished up at the end of the day. Volunteers will work a five-day week, however, groups in New Orleans on the second Saturday of the month may work an extra day at the Sankofa Marketplace.
