[edit] Meeting the time commitment requirement
There are various ways volunteers can meet the time commitment required to maintain their volunteer status. They may work a scheduled shift during Bikerowave's open shop hours as dictated by the Scheduling and Training Committee or they may do work on behalf of another committee. If a volunteer wishes to fulfill their commitment in a way not covered by an existing committee, they may seek the approval of the Scheduling & Training Committee. Scheduling & Training monitors fulfillment of volunteer time commitments.
