The Volunteer Services Intern is part of an integral team at Manatee Habitat that works with our many volunteers on construction, at the ReStores, and in the office. Working in the Volunteer Services department offers a chance to get to know volunteers and experience non profit volunteer management. Duties will typically include helping engage volunteers, onboarding new volunteers, entering volunteer information in a database, attending volunteer fair events when available, and special community projects that fit the intern's interests and organization's needs. This position is crucial for maintaining and organizing our volunteer base and records. We know that your time is valuable, and we strive to create a full experience for our interns so that they come away from their experience with a strong skill set in volunteer management and nonprofit administration. Position is unpaid for a period of 3 months at 7-10 hours per week.
