You can choose from a variety of levels of commitment within FO, and there are many ways to become a member no matter what your schedule might be. Becoming a Friend means that you are a supporter of our mission and programs.

We encourage you to attend our monthly group volunteer activities, but it is not required. We realize that everyone’s ability to give time is limited, and we are thrilled to have our members involved at any level that is feasible with their schedule.
