Community Exchange

FAQs

How far in advance should I sign up?

We recommend that individuals register as soon as they know they are available to volunteer.  We always can use the extra help at the Community Exchange.

What is the time commitment required to volunteer?

Each shift is about 3 hours. If you can, we would like our volunteers to commit to a minimum of two volunteer shifts a month, but any help is appreciated.

Do you have to be a certain age to volunteer for the Community Exchange?

Yes. Everyone must be at least 15 years of age. Those under the age of 18 must have a waiver signed by a parent/guardian.

Does everyone under 18 need permission from their parents?

Yes. Every volunteer under 18 must have a signed waiver on file with us.  

Do I need to have prior experience?

No! Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome. We have skilled staff and volunteer leaders on site to explain and supervise each task. If you are not comfortable with a task, you can simply ask to do something else.

Can I edit or cancel my shift?

Yes. You can edit or cancel your shift by logging back into POINT with the original email and password you used for your signup.
If you have any questions about signing up, please email
