Citizens Review process allows volunteers to experience firsthand the direct impact of donor dollars on the community. They then use this knowledge to assist in allocation decisions about programs. We need in need of 30 more volunteers to accomplish this process. All it takes to be a volunteer is to attend 1-2 hours of training with yours truly and spend 1-2 days visiting agencies. In addition to those dates, volunteers are asked to spend a few hours reviewing their assigned Agency applications.
