Volunteer: Fundraising/ Grant Writing/ Admin Support

We are looking for several volunteers to support our youth-led organization with a variety of fundraising, grant writing, and administrative tasks. This is a great opportunity for adult allies to support our work to build student power in Providence to improve our education and well-being. This is also a good opportunity for developing skills in nonprofit development in a supportive, open-minded environment. It would be good to meet first in person, but some of the work can be done virtually.
