Pan-African Association (PAA) is a mutual aid organization that serves to empower and promote the interests of all refugees and immigrants of African descent. This is done through our core service programs: Workforce Development, Citizenship & Immigration, Adjustment & Integration, English Language Training, Health & Wellness, and Mentoring.
We have recently decided to utilize the software program, "Salesforce for Nonprofits," but staff need to be trained in how to use it. We are looking for someone with knowledge in this area who would be available to meet with our staff of about 10 people during work hours. Late Friday afternoon, during weekly staff meetings, would be ideal, but other times could be arranged.
A second option would be to train the Executive Director who could then train staff. This could be arranged during evening hours. Hours needed depends on availability of volunteer and the degree of difficulty in learning this program.
