I am interested in volunteering for alternative spring break. I’d like to know where i can get the registration form. Also, is it necessary that a volunteer be able to drive in the US or is the driving license a proof of age?
Thanks.

Hey Aravind,
Thanks for your interest! The registration form is now on the main page of this blog. It isn’t necessary that you drive. Your coordinators and other volunteers will be able to, so you can sit back and enjoy the ride!
