BxB Central Standard Volunteer Information

BxB Central

The commitment levels for this team are fairly flexible, but the average time commitment is anywhere from 1 to 5 hours a week depending on your commitment level. Within the central organization, there are several smaller teams: website, marketing, fundraising, and software engineer. Keep in mind that we may create new teams if we have other avenues we want to pursue such as new projects or programs!

If you are interested in and are accepted to this team, it may be a little more time commitment in the beginning to get you all set up. This would involve additional meetings with the Director of Operations or the lead for your respective team!
