This was an amazing opportunity. It was well organized and we felt very useful. We wished we could have stayed a bit longer though. The times were from 9-12 and that included an orientation, so we really only volunteered for about two hours, we were ready for more! It was kind of hard to find where we were supposed to go because the parking lot is under construction.
