Many organizations depend on the help of volunteers to deliver their missions. However, effectively engaging volunteers takes capacity that many nonprofits simply do not have. United Way of King County and 501 Commons are working together to help organizations evaluate and improve their volunteer programs through the Volunteer Impact Partnership (VIP) 360 program, but we need skilled volunteers to be able to do it!
If you have expertise in human resources, volunteer management and/or organizational planning and facilitation, you can help make a fundamental difference in the way organizations are able to engage volunteers! VIP 360 Planning Consultants will work in teams of two and lead a local organization through a highly structured planning process by: Facilitating meetings, taking notes and drafting reports Helping the organization identify their priority issues and opportunities for improvement within their volunteer program Helping the organization identify tangible steps that the organization can commit to taking in the proceeding 12-18 months that will help them realize their goals.
Volunteer Planning Consultants can expect to serve about 8-10 hours per month, March through June, during the VIP 360 process. It is a great opportunity to deepen your professional skills, gain access to valuable resources and make professional connections all while playing an integral role in an organization’s ability to more fully achieve their mission.

Description
501 Commons was founded in 1989 as Executive Service Corps of Washington. In 2010, we changed our name to 501 Commons, reflecting a changing role and broader range of services. Most of our clients are in the Pacific Northwest, but many of our services are available to nonprofits in other geographic areas.
Our name is based on the principle of the "the commons." The commons can be characterized as having five distinct attributes:
- Free and uncoerced participation
- A shared purpose
- Jointly held resources
- A sense of mutuality
- Relationships that are characterized by justice and fairness
Our Theory of Practice describes how we approach our work and our Team Charter describes how our team of 45+ work together to serve our clients.
