This is only a partial list of the many opportunities available. Please remember that one-half of the hours required must be in direct service to those in need or in "hands on" service of the environment. Many web sites with suggestions may be found through religious organizations as well. If you wish to make a suggestion, or if you are unsure if the project you have chosen is appropriate, please contact Suzanne O'Meara at school.
MTS students have completed volunteer hours with most of these nonprofit organizations. The Volunteer Center of Marin (479-5660) may have additional suggestions. Again, this is only a partial list of the many opportunities available. Please remember that one-half of the hours required must be in direct service to those in need or in service of the environment.
