Straight answers

How much of your time?One or two meetings a month, usually 45 minutes. Come to what you can.
Is it safe?Every leader is background checked and trained. Two adults minimum at everything, and no adult is ever alone with your child.
What if money is tight?Say so. Help exists, it is quiet, and no kid has been turned away over it.
Boys and girls?Both, kindergarten through eighteen. All your kids, one calendar.
