We typically allot 30 minutes to eat.

After mealtime, our pledge supervisor escorts volunteers to the studio to begin training. This training session typically lasts 45-60 minutes -- plenty of time to learn how to take pledges properly and comfortably. Our pledge supervisor and assistant(s) are available throughout the shift to answer any questions that may arise. We are also often able to offer snacks and dessert for all volunteers.
