I think a single link to either the About page or the main page would
be a good start. Jobs and chapter information is far too specific
information to be in the sidebar of every project, similarly
volunteering. There is occasionally some information in these areas
which needs broad attention, but the sitenotice is a better approach
for temporary notices.

A link to a list of projects, or a page describing the various
projects, might also be a good idea.
