Work exchange may be done in order to register for a specific program or as an ongoing arrangement to build credits for future programs. Work exchange credits are accrued at the rate of $18.00 per hour and are not transferable.
CIMC relies on work exchange and volunteerism for one-time and short-term opportunities such as housekeeping, gardening, and yard work. Short-term tasks are based on the needs of the Center on any given day or week.
While we endeavor to do so, CIMC cannot always guarantee that work exchange tasks are available on short notice. To fund registration for a specific program, the request to enroll in a work exchange must be received by email at least two weeks before the program commences. A simple request is sufficient and should include the title and date of the program. We make every effort to offer sufficient work hours to complete registration. If this is not possible, a partial scholarship may be offered to cover the difference.
