Full Time Volunteers dedicate significant hours and long-term commitment to projects, often working on-site and engaging deeply. Part Time Volunteers contribute fewer hours, with more flexible schedules, supporting various activities without long-term obligations. Both roles are vital, but Full Time Volunteers typically have a more immersive experience and greater responsibility.
