First, all WhAAM volunteers need to enroll with Whatcom Volunteer Center:

or visit http://www.whatcomvolunteer.org/volunteers/volunteersindex.htm

There are a lot of great reasons to sign up with them.  Check out http://www.whatcomvolunteer.org/volunteers/benefits.htm

Once your application is complete, we are all going to need to start reporting our volunteer hours each month.  If you're volunteering at an event, it means remembering to sign in at the beginning of the event.  For those of us working from home, it means emailing me or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it BEFORE the month is over how many hours you worked that month.

This helps WhAAM, because it helps us get grants and the like.  It helps you since it creates a record of your volunteer time (which is often deductible on your income taxes).  So please, help both of us out, enroll with Whatcom Volunteer Center, and start reporting your hours.

Lastly, we are going to resume doing background checks on volunteers.  This means everyone needs to fill out and return a WhAAM application for our files.
