    Description

    The B-Unit is an organization dedicated to supporting returning citizens through transitional housing, workforce development, and holistic support services. Our mission is to create pathways to stability, employment, and long-term success by connecting individuals to resources, opportunities, and a supportive community.

    As we continue to grow, we are seeking volunteers who can assist in key administrative areas, including:

    • Grant writing and funding research
    • Infrastructure and organizational development
    • Reviewing and editing documents
    • Assisting with SAM.gov registration and compliance processes

    These efforts are critical in helping us build a strong foundation that allows us to expand our services and deepen our impact.

    This is a great opportunity for individuals looking to contribute their skills in a meaningful way while supporting an organization committed to equity, second chances, and community empowerment.

    If you are interested or would like to learn more, please feel free to reach out. I would be happy to connect and discuss how you can get involved.

    Thank you for your consideration and support.
