Hearts & Minds is all-volunteer with the exception
of an occasional stipend for individuals with very limited incomes.
Since we started in spring 1996, more than 440
people have made substantial, ongoing volunteer contributions. More than
300 others have volunteered on a short-term basis.
Thanks to all of the donated goods and services
receive, we've accomplished more than $9 worth of work for each dollar
that we spend.

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.
*Also an artist and/or photographer for Hearts &
Minds
**Currently inactive. Many have website articles, photos and artworks
that are still online.
Special Thanks to
God
