I'm writing with
The Borgen Project,
a national campaign that is focused on global poverty. We've got a volunteer Regional Director opening and would love to have students or faculty involved with our efforts. The details of the position are below. If you can forward this email to students and
faculty that might be interested, I’d greatly appreciate it! We currently have Regional Directors in over 160 U.S. cities ranging from college students and professors to news anchors and business leaders. It’s a neat group of volunteers who operate remotely
and meet once a week via a national conference call. You can learn more about the
program
here.
Thank you,
Kris
