Tips for Junior Volunteers!

Show up. Resist the urge to skip a day, no matter how tempting ("I'm not getting paid. . . I don't really owe 'em anything"). Remember, you're establishing a work record for that future job.

Speak up. Don't be shy about asking questions. Don't be embarrassed if you don't understand something - all of us have been there at one time or another.

Step up. Any time you see something that needs to be done, do it without being asked. They'll appreciate your initiative.
