Volunteer

Get Involved: Adult Volunteers Needed
As a non-profit volunteer-driven effort, RFT relies on and welcomes the contributions of motivated, concerned individuals like yourself to achieve its goals. If you've ever wanted to give back to your community and your country and make a difference in the lives of young people, this is your chance to get involved.

There are many ways you can contribute, but all will require your greatest gift -- time. Perhaps the most challenging and rewarding role is to volunteer as an RFT team leader. Team leaders accompany student participants on the organized RFT trips, providing supervision, guidance and motivation for a group of 5-6 young people. Other ways you can contribute are in the areas of administrative support, data input, fund raising, media and public relations, and operations and coordination.

Please consider supporting this important program by contributing your time, energy, and expertise. We look forward to hearing from you.
