As part of the ABLE grant requirements, volunteers are required to attend a training session. A session will be held on the Marple Campus on Thursday, December 13, from 6 to 8 p.m. Volunteers also must have a bachelor’s degree or be enrolled in a four-year degree program. This includes community college students who are enrolled in a transfer program that will lead to a four-year degree.
