Please note: the Work Exchange Schedule fills up very fast.
*Our shifts fill very fast and there is a waiting list of parents anxiously awaiting a free time slot. If you sign up and then decide not to take part in the program, please log-in and cancel your shift ASAP so that others are allowed to take your place. We ask that you avoid this situation by not signing up until you are 100% sure that you will be able to join us, but if a cancellation cannot be avoided, please cancel your shift right away. Thank you.
