Our volunteers are a diverse group of college students, lawyers, teachers, and individuals of all backgrounds and ages. Chapters range in size from as few as five volunteers to as many as 300. Project Sunshine encourages volunteers to participate as often as they feel comfortable, whether it is several days a week, once a month, or at special service events once per year.
