What we look for

We are looking for people who BELIEVE that they are the change they want to see, someone with the skill set, knowledge, and passion for impacting and influencing change in their communities. We are looking for volunteers who are committed to the mission and vision of this organization. Finally, we seek someone who believes that we are stronger together, conceptualizing “problems or issues” as an opportunity to collaborate, grow and learn.
