- Marketing
- Customer facing order management
- Scanning and labeling
- Bin management
- Online folder management

- Shipping including packing
Roles will be assigned on a first come first basis on enrollment.
All members and volunteers will undergo training before being deployed in scanning projects. Training is offered as part of the annual fall enrollment into Inclusive World’s programs.
