ORGANIZATION: Goodman Community Center

We are looking for a Volunteer Coordinator to support the Food for Thought Initiative as they expand their service areas to more schools in Madison.

The Food for Thought Initiative (Food4TI) is an all-volunteer partner organization with Goodman Community Center working to reduce food insecurity and improve school performance in Madison area school children.

They have set up food pantries at East High school, Cherokee Heights Middle School, Sandburg Elementary, and Mendota Elementary schools to provide students with access to food while also running the Thea’s Table program. Thea’s Table provides shelf-stable meals to homeless school children and their families on weekends, when the children do not get breakfast and lunch at school.

The volunteer coordinator will devote their time to develop the program's capacity to engage volunteers through all areas and levels to meet the program's mission. This is a flexible opportunity working from home 5-10 hours per week. You will need to be available to meet with other volunteers once per month.

Duties include:

  • Work with program directors to identify volunteer needs.
  • Assist with recruitment, retention, and recognizing volunteers.
  • Assist in screening and placing volunteer applicants.
  • Maintain volunteer records.
Join us as we help students lean by helping to alleviate food insecurities and hunger.

Mission Statement

Our Mission: The Goodman Community Center strengthens lives and secure futures. Our Vision: A community that’s thriving because everyone is valued and has the resources they need to be successful. Our Values: GCC is committed to creating and maintaining a community that respects and values diverse life experiences. Everyone deserves respect and acceptance without bias. We engage the perspectives and voices of our community and ensure they are reflected in our culture.

Description

The Goodman Community Center is not your average community center. As I get to talking with people about Goodman, they inevitably end up surprised. They’re surprised by how many programs and resources we offer, how beautiful our facilities are, or how many people we serve. Every year more than 30,000 people use the Center - some who come to one event, others who are very familiar faces here.

Thanks to our generous community, we just built and moved into a second beautiful facility across the street, the Brassworks building. We’re now reconfiguring and refreshing the Center’s first home on Waubesa Street, the Ironworks building. During this past ten years, we’ve nearly doubled in size.

Our staff are committed to learning and continually improving, too. That’s why each program uses a variety of tools to measure impacts for both the program overall, and for each individual participant. We use that data to constantly fine-tune what we do - and how we do it.

We’re glad Goodman is one of many organizations in the Madison area who are pouring themselves into making our community great - for us all. We hope you’ll join us. Because we know that every good thing that happens here is made possible by people like you.
