Hi Nanci, welcome to Lactnet :-) I accrued my hours as a La Leche League Leader over a period of five years. Consider WIC - I am an IBCLC for my local program and I can tell you there's always room for another good volunteer. Our Peer Counselors are our future IBCLCs; we've had a fair amount of success 'growing' LCs in that way. Also you get a great variety of experience from WIC - you see some of nearly everything, it seems to me.... Regina M.
