Volunteer Spotlight
I did a few dance camps as a kid and I thought, I like this, I'm gonna keep doing it. And I actually enjoy working with the kids. [Dance class] got them into the basics, and they even compiled a small full choreo. We're in good shape!

Breaches of the Volunteer Code of Conduct
If volunteers fail to uphold the ethical considerations in this document, volunteers may be asked to address or change their behavior, or may be released from activities. Callanwolde has the right to release or dismiss volunteers at its discretion.
By agreeing to this Volunteer Code of Conduct, I indicate that I have read, understood, and agree to uphold and abide by the outlined values. I also agree to accept consequences of not following our Volunteer Code of Conduct.
