Volunteer Coordinator

Save to Favorites

We are a small nonprofit organization with a very limited budget. All of our services are provided by volunteers. Because of this we have a need for a Volunteer Coordinator for few hours each month. This may be a good opportunity for someone who is either out of job and needs to keep busy or someone who has a passion for coordinating and supporting a charity organization. If you’ve been a volunteer coordinator or a program manager for a nonprofit organization, this job will be very easy for you. If you’ve done any form of customer service work, tutoring, or mentoring, this will be an enjoyable position for you. Basically, we need someone for ONLY 5-7 hours per month; that's less than 20mins per day, if you choose to do this daily.

4) Documenting and organizing volunteers’ activities/times (spreadsheets, time logs, resumes, evaluations); and responding to volunteers’ questions or concerns promptly, etc...

5) Provide both written and oral updates, with measurable outcome, to YesLiberia's board members, every 30 days, on a conference call.

6) Posting some volunteer accomplishments on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, or LinkedIn
