However, in order to request a Letter of Recommendation from the Venice Family Clinic, you must complete over 100 volunteer hours at VFC. What do I do when there is nothing to do? Be proactive and get the most out of your volunteer experience! If it is slow, please ask the Nursing Staff if they need help with anything.
