Spring 2023 volunteers

• Check the spreadsheet to see the name of your host teacher and their email address. Contact them to know that you are a Duke student with PfS, and the day/time you will be volunteering. Check in about their expectations. Ask a little about the class and about what you’ll be doing.
• Complete the form here. This is a Student U form and is sent to all of their tutors. Some of the questions related to timing may seem redundant. Please just complete the form with information about your confirmed placement.
• Transportation: This site is accessible by several public buses – #11, #5, and #12. There may be a possibility of a Duke van, or consider signing up for STRNC.org for facilitated carpooling. Sign up with your Duke address to get additional tools. Let us know if you need any help with figuring things out.
