Join the RPCVnexus Team!
As RPCVnexus continues to rise to the needs of PCVs and RPCVs considering their next career moves, we’re looking to expand our own team. As the positions are currently unpaid, individuals will be able to gain skills from the position to prepare themselves for applying elsewhere. Once funding become available to RPCVnexus to create a part time or permanent position, these positions will become paid.
That said, we recognize that the time you provide us is your time and we appreciate the amount you’re able to provide whether it is 1 hour per week or 20. Each project is scalable and individual activities within can be compartmentalized based on your availability.
