These skills are valuable in many future careers, especially within the nonprofit sector. Through volunteer outreach you will be able to network with local community members and become connected with the greater Stillwater area. This position also offers the unique experience of collaborating with current and future volunteers at a variety of levels, from administrative support to leadership roles.
