The success of Earthville's nonprofit programs is made possible by people like you around the world who donate their time and skills. We are proud to be an almost entirely volunteer organization (even our President works pro bono, for the joy of caring for others and the planet we share). The kindness of so many people who have volunteered to support Earthville's charitable projects and programs is the main factor that has enabled Earthville to accomplish so much good on a surprisingly slim budget.
Still, we require more skilled help to meet the growing demand for our programs and services, and your talents could make a big difference.
Below is a list of services that are especially needed, grouped into five categories.
(Note that some of these needs are US-based, while a few are based in other countries, and some tasks can be done from anywhere in the world if one has Internet access.)
