Olivetti said the volunteers?she requested 40?will work with 40 to 80 teens and will get an orientation that includes the rules, regulations and descriptions of the types of teens they will meet. "[Volunteers] are offering attention and are showing that people in the community still care and give their time to visit with them," Olivetti said. David Janes, director of community service, said there are more than 20 sites, and the Into the Street student committee hopes to beat last year's participation of 400 and get 400 to 500 people placed at these sites.
