A Note on Service Commitment:
By signing on, members are making a commitment to serve the number of hours their position requires. Host Sites and LEAP fully expect members to fulfill this commitment unless a compelling circumstance arises. Failure to fulfill this commitment jeopardizes the future of LEAP and, thus, jeopardizes our Host Sites' ability to host a member in the future. Leaving a term of service early could prohibit a member from serving in National Service in the future.
