WOOLF [still] Needs You!!
Maybe you missed it in January, or maybe you weren’t sure about your spring plans, or maybe you are just super motivated by today's weather to spend more time outdoors! Whatever your reason, WOOLF is still looking for Spring Staff to help out with logistics for WOOLF leader training in May. If you are interested in helping out and can commit to all (or at least most of) May 19-24th, please email [log in to unmask] to express your interest, and we will follow up.
