Volunteers usually spend around 4 weeks learning about the range of
FORRU-CMU's activities, with the option to concentrate on more
specialized tasks thereafter, such as individual research on a selected
topic or designing education and outreach activities/materials.
There are no set schedules for volunteerships. Volunteers are expected
to create their own time tables using an online shared calendar, in
consultation with FORRU staff and according to their own interests and
needs.
