    I am wondering how other shelters go about screening volunteer applicants. We get many, many requests from high school students who only have weekend availability. We appreciate their help, but it is getting to a point that volunteer shifts are becoming fully booked each weekend but we still have minimal help on weekdays. I'm not sure if onboarding many more weekend-only volunteers will be worth the time it takes to train them? 

    I'm looking for any suggestions or information on how other shelters handle this!
