Howard County Energy District Volunteer

Amy Bouska is the chair of the Howard County Energy District, a local 501(c)(3) organization that promotes energy efficiency and renewable energy in Howard County.  She is seeking a student or multiple students to help with social media and web presence.  

The Energy District would strongly prefer that this be an on-going (but relatively low level) project for the rest of the year, i.e., we envision working together to develop an overall "vision" of our on-line presence, then the student would actually do the work to set it up.  As time went on, we would send things to post and the student could suggest posts to us.  If this can't be arranged, we could also consider a shorter term, "set up and teaching" arrangement.

If interested, please contact Brett Daley at brettdaley21@gmail.com
