  • Give our Website Some Love – 1 Month 

  • Book Club – Organize & Facilitate 1 Session

  • Help Plan and Organize a FIOP Online Conference

  • Fundraising Initiatives – 1 Month

If you are willing to give your time toward any of the listed initiatives, simply email your name and your interest to fiopoffice@gmail.com  Together, we can achieve amazing things. We’d be thrilled if you’d consider lending your time, expertise, or financial support to help us reach our goals.
