try and try again! Don’t give up!
Every semester we receive many more fantastic applicants than we can train, and unfortunately, we cannot invite everyone to volunteer with us. However, if you apply and are not accepted, we highly encourage you to try out in a subsequent semester! We’re always looking to onboard those who want to lend a listening ear.
