About the Role

OpenJoy Foundation is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented volunteer to support our grant writing and fundraising efforts.

This role is essential in helping us expand access to creative and educational programs for children from families with financial problems and limited access to resources.

Your work will directly support programs that help children:
