Volunteering Opportunities at CedarNet

CedarNet is growing, and we could always use more people to donate their time. Our Office Manager is also our Volunteer Coordinator, so drop by and fill out an application, or call the office (233-5765) if you are interested in volunteering. There is no need to be a computer expert, many of the needs we fulfill are rather low tech, and we can teach you the basics you will need to help. Here is a list of the committees for which you might volunteer and some of the duties they perform for us:
