If you'd like to join the ranks, check out our job board to see available positions! All volunteers are expected to make a 6-month commitment (generally no more than a few hours a week), and communicate regularly with their teams (we use Google Apps, Slack, and Trello) as they work towards their teams' goals. Volunteers get a sweet @orgorg.co email address, bragging rights on LinkedIn (and this here website), and access to behind the scenes information about our operations...plus, you know, the opportunity to work on cool projects that make a difference to this community.
