IT volunteer needed: very short term

The Pangaea Project seeks a volunteer IT person to help us with our computer hardware and software. With two new staff coming on, we need to clean up hard drives, be sure each computer connects to our server through our network and from out of the office, and that all systems are functioning smoothly. This may take a few hours of work on a couple of days. We work with PCs and don't have these skills in house. Please contact Stephanie at [email protected] if you are interested in assisting us.
