Members receive a living allowance of $24,000, health insurance, student loan forbearance, child‑care reimbursement, an education award of $7,395, in‑depth personal and professional development, and valuable networking opportunities.

Responsibilities

Volunteer Coordinator – recruit and manage volunteers; create volunteer position descriptions; develop training curriculum; track and manage volunteers and their hours.
Technology and Social Media Coordinator – design informational and educational material for social media, email and web platforms; train staff and volunteers on maintaining social media sites.
