  Volunteer information at a glance:

  - Since it is live television, program schedules and/or volunteer shift times are subject to change without notice. “Live” indicates volunteers will answer phones live on the air during a program’s “pledge breaks.”

  - A common question is: "Will we be trained and fed?" Yes to both! A meal, snacks, and dessert are provided for every volunteer shift. Please let us know ahead of time if there are any special needs.

  - All pledges are taken electronically via laptop. Basic typing skills are required, as well as a moderate level of comfort and confidence with using computers to enter callers’ information. Our pledge supervisors will conduct detailed training sessions so every volunteer knows how to accurately and efficiently enter pledges from callers. Supervisors will also be available throughout your time at WTTW11 to answer any questions that may arise.

  Spiritual traditions boldly claim we are more than what we seem. There is a spiritual dimension, a hidden fullness, to our make-up. When this dimension releases, it empowers our mental, physical, and social lives and allows us to see possibilities for action that we did not previously see. But how does this happen? How do we bring soul into our work as lawyers? Our retreat day will explore this spiritual path. 
  

  Retreat Leader: Jack Shea 

  The all day program is open to all lawyers, judges and those in the legal profession. Breakfast, Lunch and coffee breaks will be provided. Pre-event registration is required to attend. Cost to attend is dependent on your years of service in the legal profession:
