• Additionally, all volunteers who are dependable and complete work as assigned will receive:
• Glowing recommendations from Modern Military senior management upon request. These recommendations can be via the volunteer's preferred method, e.g., on LinkedIn, as a letter, as an official reference on job applications, etc.
• 1:1 Professional Development This will be based on the volunteer's stated interest and could take the form of: resume review, interview coaching, cover letter editing, or skills training.

• Administrative Knowledge: Experience with workflow products (e.g., Google Workplace, Monday.com)
• Organizational Skills: A knack for organizing communication and schedules
• Cultural Competency: Knowledge of the military community is a must, how that community intersects with the LGBTQ+ community is preferred
• Commitment: Ability to dedicate sufficient time to see the project through (on a flexible schedule, of course)
