All volunteers must sign up online and select positions of interest and availability for shifts. Volunteers are required to commit to a minimum of three shifts (6 hours duration each).
Volunteers each receive a free copy of the AFC hardcover coffee-table book featuring artwork from the exhibit, as well as AFC’s Environmental Calendar.
