Staff and Volunteers
1996 - Now

This web page is being updated.

Hearts & Minds is currently all -volunteer.

Since we started in spring 1996, more than 550 people have made substantial, ongoing volunteer contributions. More than 300 others have volunteered on a short-term basis.

In winter 2009, we began listing the total number of volunteer hours for most volunteers. Some volunteers have additional hours with us not reported here.

Thanks to many donated goods and services, we've accomplished more than $9 worth of work for each dollar that we spend. More notes

More Notes:
Internships now require at least 250 hours, extended internships at least 400 hours. Internships started before May 1, 2005 required at least 150 hours, extended internships at least 250 hours. Internships are credited above after completion. Before Summer 2001, some of those who completed internships are not identified as interns above.

Starting autumn 2006, those who completed their volunteering at Hearts & Minds with less than 25 hours are placed in the "Thanks also" section for that time frame. Prior to fall 2006, the exact amount of time may vary, usually less than 15 hours.

Hearts & Minds titles and responsibilities are in italics.

To avoid duplication, volunteers are only shown in the latest period they worked with us or in the management section above, if they are still active managers.

Potential employers can contact us for the fullest, most accurate description of an individual's role, their total hours and more precise start and end dates at Hearts & Minds.
