Job Opportunities
Community Service Opportunities
St. George's has a volunteer opportunity for community service hours. This opportunity would be ideal for students looking to gain experience in the area of Visual Communications/Marketing. We need some extra assistance with our social media presence and would love to be able to provide hours to students interested in working in that area in exchange for that assistance! The students will have the opportunity to flex their skills with design creation of promotional materials, with the bulk of their time spent setting up and scheduling social media posts for the church. There is room for creativity for those interested in doing more than simply satisfying a list of posts to share. Additionally, working with Rev. Lauren would include potential for a reference for college or job applications. St. George's is an open and affirming church where all are welcome. revlaurenkay@gmail.com
