Volunteer Projects

 

To all of our Volunteers who have expressed interest in helping with ideas, brainstorming, internet research, public relations, designs, writing, etc., here is a list of things we need to get done.

 

It is always more fun to do things that are interesting and meaningful for us, so please take a look at the following and let us know where you would like to dive in. Once you find what you would like to help with, we can do some one-on-one emails/calls to get more specific.

 

All of the following can be done “virtually” at least initially, so you can do it from your home, library or office.

 

When we have the funding in place for the Vietnam project, some of the activities will continue on to become “on-site” projects to be finalized.

 

Thanks again for your interest in helping us out.
