• Organization, including the ability to track and coordinate efforts by volunteers
• General computer competency
• Self-motivation
• A passion for our mission

Compensation:

The position is a part-time position and can be performed from any location.    Compensation will be $20 per hour, starting at 10 hours per week with the possibility of growth in hours and compensation if the efforts by the successful candidate lead to increased revenue for the organization.
