There is much work to be done in the background operations of BOTG! We require volunteers with skills and experiences in many other areas to support our organization.

Duties outside of our support line fall in the areas of marketing, community outreach and networking, fundraising, finance, policy writing, event planning, and administrative functions.

If you would like to volunteer your time with BOTG in any of these important roles, please provide a resume and a cover letter detailing relevant skills and experience, and specify what categories you would be most interested in. Feel free to ask any questions you may have; we are happy to collaborate with our communities!
