From the discussion Should Volunteers pay to participate in LImmud?

In my opinion it is OK to ask volunteers to pay a reduced fee. Mind you, I do think that it really depends on what are the expectations from volunteers. If a volunteer is expected to work all through the day and not be able to enjoy even one of the sessions it would hard to convince me that this volunteer has to pay 36$ for this, especially if we’re talking of young people. A fine balanced should be reached and we should look at what we are expecting from different volunteers at different times. How about making it progressive? The more you do the less you pay, with a minimum charge of say $15-20 (to cover the cost for the parking and the meal).
