Programs
The Team Depot SOP provides detail on how to conduct projects that include planning, beneficiary guidance, and more. There is no limit on the number of volunteers allowed, however, consider the amount of tasks and work needed for a successful project.
The Nonprofit Resource Guide is a helpful tool in locating an organization that can assist any project you choose.
