carry out special events related to the work of The Sanctuary
Community Development Corporation. Opportunities arise both in
the community and within the organization. This could be a great
opportunity for people who are unable to commit to something weekly.
We are always looking for individuals interested
in helping us document the work that we are doing in the community
and with individuals. Our goal is to consistently photograph
and videotape our programs and participants, as well as special
projects to help express the mission and vision of the organization
through multimedia and photography. Materials would be used
for publications, fundraising, church services and more.

SPECIFIC INTERESTS, AS OPPORTUNITIES SOMETIMES ARISE UNIQUE FROM
WHAT MIGHT CURRENTLY BE LISTED.
