Yes, if it works within their and the host site’s schedule.
What if we want a student to divide their time between two different locations?
This is permitted; however, it may involve transportation challenges. These details would need to be coordinated between you, your volunteer, and the CALL Placement Specialist.

Students can continue to volunteer as long as it is within their means.
