HOW WE SELECT OUR VOLUNTEERS
We’re proud of our volunteer community—a mix of new and returning faces from around the country. We seek geographical diversity, cultural variety, and a balance of singles and couples who fit our available lodging. We consider prior years of service and quality of past efforts.
The more flexible and available you are, the better your chances to be selected as one of Medora’s volunteers.
