Requirements: There is a volunteer packet/application.There is a requirement of at LEAST 10 hours. Applications for the fall semester must be received by October 1st, and for the spring semester by March 1st. You can pick up an application at the DuBard School (which is right off Montague on Kay James on the USM campus) for more information. Students are required to log their hours for the agency. Special Notes: This is not a sit-in-the-back-of-the-class type of volunteer work, but if you come in with a good attitude and willing to work with the kids, it is a great experience. ** "volunteering" at the DuBard School is not the same as practicum ** |
