[IL-Talk] BPN-Volunteer Assistive Technology Training Specialist Position

[Sidney Horn]

I honestly might look into this. I remember you talking about this Leslie
and Mark I know you've told me about this as well.
I'm in college but if it's done virtually which I believe it is I might
consider doing stuff with BPN.
