We require a self-starter, motivated, and organized individual who is willing to take on a wide variety of responsibilities. You must have proven research experience, the ability to communicate effectively in person and on the telephone, and excellent computer and writing skills.

An individual is needed to volunteer from September 2009 to May 2010, and is expected to commit 3-5 hours per week. Our office operates 9am-5pm Monday through Friday; scheduling is flexible.
