We are looking for people who are genuinely interested in contributing to their communities, developing their skills, taking responsibility, and helping build MiVolunteer for the long term. We also recognize that volunteering should be accessible. We encourage applicants to communicate any accessibility needs during the application process so that we can work to provide an inclusive experience.
