New Paltz for Refugees is narrowing its attention to focus on 2 very needy families, one of which arrives here in the next few weeks, and the group will need much assistance. Having a student who can send out updates of progress and of the need for volunteers or donations would be so helpful as well as to deal with any media outreach.

The candidate is required to be proficient in writing, public relations and social media posting, as well as possess strong interpersonal relationship skills. Candidates will need to work independently, but also participate in team meetings and projects.
