Community Builders for Monterey County

REMOTE & IN-PERSON

Community Builders is a new organization connecting volunteers with community needs. This is a
unique opportunity to be involved with a start-up organization that will engage an intern in every aspect of building a community based organization. We are looking for students interested in social innovation and those that understand that volunteering is very much a social service that builds skills, combats loneliness and is linked to health.

Stories of Resilience and Innovative Community Building is our project - details to follow....(collecting/document stories of resilience in response to COVID19) OR for those interest in public administration - general engagement in overall operations of an emerging nonprofit.
