Program Volunteers The programs of the L Double R offer a wide variety of ways to discover and nurture your gifts and talents - for both the teacher and the student! From Staff Training Guest Speakers to a Poet in Residence. Take a look at some of the ways you have helped support the ministry of the L Double R program. In general, Program Volunteers make a week long commitment, however multiple weeks are encouraged also. Meals are provided and, depending on your situation, housing can be arranged at the site. Because program volunteers give direct leadership to our campers, you are required to apply, have a background check and 3 references. Please complete a Volunteer Application and send it in. Do it for the Kids!

Office volunteers... ...are the backbone of our marketing strategy! Throughout the year we have mailings that go out to THOUSANDS of people! To make that happen we need people who can stuff (and stamp) envelopes, run a folding machine, etc. We generally work from 9 a.m. til around 4 p.m. and provide some great homemade meals so our volunteers can keep up their energy. We gather at our office in Fort Collins for these activities. Contact us to check the exact dates and to let us know if you are coming!
