• Source and recruit volunteers through various techniques (writing position description postings, newsletters, social media outreach, etc.)
• Keep records of volunteers’ information (skills, abilities, assignments, etc.)

• Orient and train incoming volunteers; create tutorials and orientation materials when needed
