Together we’ll work to build connections and relationships all across the Boston area in order to bring the mission of GRCB to more people. We’ll do this through intentional community participation and engagement.
Ideal candidates for this role have strong ties to their own neighborhoods and communities and can utilize those to help GRCB make meaningful connections. A passion for empowering girls and gender-expansive youth and spreading that to new communities is a must!
