Build Repair Grow (BRG), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is seeking a Treasurer who can help take our organization to the next level. The Treasurer will manage and oversee the financial affairs of the organization and serve as a full voting member of our Board of Directors. This position may be virtual: It is not necessary for the Treasurer to reside in Massachusetts.

BRG teaches young people how to grow and cook food, basic carpentry, sewing, and bike repair. We provide young people with training in practical skills critical for building individual resiliency, problem-solving, and self-sufficiency while promoting community health. Our programs were developed with a focus on in-person, hands-on learning, but due to the current pandemic, we have pivoted to a take home project kit program called BRG in a Box which includes online instructional videos.
