Project Manager
Do you love organizing parties and events?
If so, then this is the perfect project for you. We need a project manager to co-ordinate our 2014 New Volunteer Graduation. Each year this special ceremony honoring our new volunteer instructors is held at the Portland Justice Center.
The project manager works with a team of volunteers and staff to coordinate food, donations and gifts. This is a great opportunity to work with employees of the Portland Police Bureau and to network with other volunteers in our organization.
