Hello David - AVO does not have a formal volunteer program - but HVO does: http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/volunteer/ Best wishes to him in his studies! -Cheryl Cameron -------- David Mitchel wrote: Hello. My 19 year old son will be starting a degree in Earth and Environmental Science in Lancaster University in the UK in October. He is also just about to leave on a three month volunteer project in El Salvador helping a remote village that was badly affected in the civil war. He has a few months spare in mid July to mid September and was wondering if there are any volunteer opportunities with you. If so, we would be very interested to hear from you!! -- Cheryl Cameron Geologist, Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys voice: 907-451-5012 fax: 907-451-5050
