| About Volunteering at The Option Institute: |
|
Schedule:
Volunteers work approximately 35 hours
a week, including some weekends and
evenings. Being flexible is a requirement
for volunteering here. Occasionally,
to meet unpredictable demands, volunteers
may be moved between departments with
short notice. Outside of work, volunteers
are provided with at least 4 hours of
class time in the Option Process®
each week as well as training and practice
using the Option Process® dialogue.

Work
assignments: Assignments include
helping out in one or more of the following
essential areas: housekeeping, office
work, washing dishes, assisting in cooking,
lawn and yard work, snow removal, carpentry,
general maintenance, or errands. Most
of the work is physical in nature -
suitable for people who have energy
and stamina.

with room and board, usually twin room
occupancy. Bathroom facilities are also
shared. Housing is simple with linens
