College student volunteers in Barron are between the ages of 18 to 26 and currently enrolled in a college or university. A commitment of one shift per week for at least one full semester is required.

These positions are extremely competitive, so not all students who apply and interview will be accepted. Students invited to participate will be placed in service areas based on our program needs.
