Volunteer with us!
The Compress and Shock Foundation relies on volunteers to help us instruct and run our classes!
ā
If you volunteer to be an instructor C&S will provide you with a short training module to complete before the class. We will also provide the educational course for the class and as an instructor you will help walk the learners through the PowerPoint and hands on skills. Read more about vilunteering as an instructor below.
