OPEN VOLUNTEER POSITIONS
We are currently looking to begin our first-ever Associate Board. With that, we need a team of dedicated volunteers to spearhead this initiative. An Associate Board is a group of "early-career" individuals who commit to contributing their time, talent, and/or treasures to a non-profit for a set period of time. Some of their task/responsibilities are listed below:
Engaging and creating content for next-generation donors
Building relationships with local businesses
Planning and executing events (FUNdraisers)
