They are currently looking for some student volunteers to help them with data entry for a survey they have been conducting across the city of Buffalo. The deadline to enter this information is June 15th. Please contact Elisabeth Preisinger at elisabeth@openbuffalo.org if you can assist.




*Unfortunately, because this is data entry, it does not fit into CAS (CAS cannot not be repetitive work like filing, etc...).
