  Food Not Bombs (Community Support),
  Ironwill Athletics (Youth Strength Program), and SAGE (Senior Engagement).
• Help coordinate volunteer recruitment, onboarding, and public awareness campaigns.
• Assist in developing small-scale fundraising events and community drives.
• Work closely with leadership to expand GVF’s visibility and impact across Central Virginia.

• Located in or around Lynchburg, VA.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills; enjoys connecting with people face-to-face.
• Passionate about helping others and strengthening community ties.
• Experience in outreach, public relations, nonprofit work, or event coordination (preferred, not required).
