About Us
Volunteers help with all aspects of Boonerang, including staffing information tables, running the Silent Disco, and handling cleanup.
Volunteer Coordinator Dona Dowlan manages recruitment, organization, and support for every volunteer.
Returning volunteers have become the backbone of the program; their familiarity with the program creates a sense of continuity that no training manual can replicate.
