CRIS is able to maximize how many participants we are able to accommodate when we know well ahead of time how many volunteers we have on a trip. We typically ask volunteers to sign up for regular 4 week blocks so our clients can see friendly, familiar faces on their trips. We also know personal lives can be a priority and ask you let us know as soon as possible if you have to cancel. Some of our clients live with complex needs and we look for volunteers who are understanding if a trip has to be canceled last-minute.
