WHAT: Team Leaders are the most basic level of UPG Volunteer Staff. The TLA (Team Leader Academy) was created to provide uniform training and to prepare them to learn how to lead Volunteers. The TLA has evolved into a Volunteer Staff and Community Education Program for those who want to learn UPG skill sets.
COMMITMENT: If you sign up, you are committing to the Saturdays you sign up for. We hope that you will become a UPG Volunteer Staffer when you graduate, but that is a separate kind of commitment.
COST: Donation is optional, any amount helps. If sweat equity is what you can give, thanks!

FYI: UPG is hiring soon. TLA graduates are preferred by UPG for staff positions.
