Adults and teens are welcome to volunteer. Here are the types of on-site help that they need:
The stared items (**) are areas where they really like to have adults present (as opposed to teenagers). They would like volunteers to arrive between 4:00 & 4:30 to avoid the crowds and you can expect to be leaving around 9pm. They will provide pizza and tea. This is a double-shift service project, and you will receive two credits. Sign-ups will be directly with Oatland Island here:
