As a current volunteer I just want to encourage anyone reading this post who thinks they could see themselves volunteering for CH to contact Paula and get more information. It is an incredibly valuable (though sometimes stressful and difficult) experience that I've found to be a very worthwhile investment of the past 11 months of my life =)
