Working in the volunteerism department at GRID, it brings me great joy to see a volunteer take what GRID has to teach them and use it to land a great job. One they can be passionate about and proud of, as well as earn a good living for themselves and their families. Even better is when GRID receives the great benefit of finding a star volunteer who can contribute to GRID as a staff member and a wonderful addition to GRID’s family.
