Ongoing Opportunities
Keep us up to date on events in your area; Everywhere, GA
Admittedly, much of our news and the events we advertise are based in Atlanta. We often post what is sent to us and we need more emails, links and phone calls from folks outside of the big city telling us what we need to aknowledge and celebrate. If you have an event you would like us to advetise on our website or a happening worth acknowledging, please contact our Communications Director, Michael Wall. michael@georgiaorganics.org. This is the easiest volunteer opportunity in the world and it is so helpful!
General Office Assitance; Atlanta, GA
We are a staff of nine and we need some help from time to time in the office doing things that are sometimes so simple and yet so helpful. We especially love it when someone comes in once a week for a couple of hours. That way we can hone in on your stengths and make you feel like part of the team. It is also great for your resume, I might add. If you would like to get to know us better by giving some of your time to help us out in our office, please send an email to Stephanie Hass stephanie@georgiaorganics.org with your contact information and general availability.
