    Volunteer Opportunities at HEY

    Welcome to HEY’s Newest Volunteer – Josefina Bolufer

    By Dana Mandolesi on March 18, 2010

    Josefina contacted us about a month ago because she saw a posting we had at VolunteerMatch.org for someone to help us with our website. HEY’s website and newsletter really needed someone with an eye for design, and our staff just didn’t have the capacity to give it the attention it needed. We were so excited to have her contact us and join our team. She works in the HEY offices with us twice a week and provides support and advice on making heysf.org even better. Here’s what she has to say!

    “My name is Josefina Bolufer, I am a graphic design senior student at San Francisco State University. Originally, I’m from Spain; however, I’ve had the opportunity to live in other countries such as Germany, England and now the US. When I arrived here, I was impressed with the level of commitment that students dedicate to help their communities. It really inspired me. I decided to contribute by doing what I love to do most: design. Right now I’m volunteering for Honoring Emancipated Youth (HEY) and for Native American AIDS Project (NAAP).”

    HEY can offer volunteer and internship positions for students looking to add to their experience or portfolio. If you are interested in volunteering with us, contact heysf@uwba.org.
