Serve as a Volunteer Manager Corps Member in the VIP Manager Corps
Chinese Information and Service Center (CISC) seeks a skilled individual to join as a Volunteer Manager Corps (VMC) Member in a unique role. Volunteers will work with CISC to develop and implement specific tools, systems, and processes that will enhance its volunteer engagement efforts and community impact.
CISC helps Chinese and other Asian immigrants throughout King County achieve success in their new community by providing information, referral, advocacy, social, and support services. By bridging culture, communities and generation they strive to create opportunities for Asian and other immigrants and their families to succeed.
Apply to serve as a VMC Member for CISC through United Way’s VIP Manager Corps, a United Way program in partnership with 501 Commons that helps King County human service organizations develop and sustain effective volunteer engagement programs and practices.
Volunteers will serve 300 hours over 8 months starting in April 2014. VMC Members are expected to serve 10 hours per week during the 9-5 workday which includes regular check-in meetings and group trainings.
In return for their service, volunteers will receive:
- an $800 United Way of King County service award
- training in volunteer management best practices
- the opportunity to serve in collaboration with a community of peers
- recognition for helping to increase an organization's capacity to deliver services
We are seeking a candidate with strong people skills, leadership experience, and a commitment to service. A background in volunteer management or human resources is desirable, but not necessary, as some training will be provided. A successful candidate will have experience working with Asian immigrant communities. The ability to communicate in Mandarin and/or Cantonese is desired.
