The GDRA is volunteer powered—so if you are new and have a bit of time and energy to spare, please email us at usgdra@gmail.com to get more involved. Every bit helps. Working together, we can get to work here at home to build disaster resilience and reduce gender-based vulnerabilities. Check out volunteer testimonials here.

Our three top needs at this time (and see Volunteer Roles):

• Social media coordinator–do you love Twitter?  Facebook?
• Graphic design—can you help design a “branded” look for our materials?
• Outreach—we need ideas and information for linking with other groups, networks or initiatives of kindred spirit (please send links to possible allies)

Operational costs remain very low but your energies are needed for some grant writing.
