Serve as a Volunteer Manager Corps Member in the VIP Manager Corps
Birthday Dreams seeks a skilled individual to join as a Volunteer Manager Corps (VMC) Member in a unique role. Volunteers will work with Birthday Dreams to develop and implement specific tools, systems, and processes that will enhance its volunteer engagement efforts and community impact.
Birthday Dreams is a nonprofit dedicated to bringing joy to homeless children in the Puget Sound area with the gift of a birthday party. Birthday Dreams was founded on the simple principle that children must have this sense of hope, encouragement and belief that there are people who care so that they can weather the storms of their circumstances.
Apply to serve as a VMC Member for Birthday Dreams 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
- valuable experience working with a nonprofit
- 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. The ability to travel to and work on site in Renton, WA is required.
