The Romero Institute's is seeking administrative office volunteers. We are currently inputting our enormous onsite library into a digital database. Volunteers will need to be experienced doing data entry and have the capability to move around, taking library books off the shelf, logging them manually into our database and then returning them to the shelf. This work will happen onsite at the Romero Institute in Santa Cruz. For info email info@romeroinstitute.org
