Use your talents and time to make an impact. All tasks can be done remotely and at your convenience.

OUR APPROACH

How Volunteering Works Here

Often we do not assign people to rigid job titles. We believe people do their best work when it matches their gifts and their season of life. But flexibility without clarity leaves everyone guessing, so we describe volunteer service along two dimensions: how long you are serving, and the scope of your role.

1. Duration of Service

From short-term project commitments to flexible, ongoing roles that match your current season of life.

2. Scope of Your Role

Whether you prefer narrow, micro-task support or highly collaborative, strategically focused initiatives.
