Volunteer Coordinator

Save to Favorites

The VA Volunteer Coordinator is responsible for the recruitment of volunteers to provide programs that Soldiers’ Angels offers through the VA Medical Centers. As one of the only organizations in the country approved to work within the VA Medical Centers, it is our responsibility to serve our nation’s veterans the best we possibly can. As deployments continue to draw down, Soldiers’ Angels are shifting excess assets to support this population. Eventually, VA Medical Center support will be the primary mission of the organization. With so many nonprofits focused only on Post 9-11 wounded, ill, and injured, we are one of the few organizations focusing on veterans of all generations. The goal of this position is to work with the local VA Representative to grow the VA support Soldiers’ Angels provides to our veterans in the assigned VA hospital system.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Assist in the recruitment of volunteers to serve as key volunteers for the local team.
• You will work with the VA Support Coordinator and reach out to the volunteers interested in volunteering, answer their questions, and give them the appropriate paperwork to fill out. You will send that completed paperwork to the VA Support Coordinator.
• You will keep track of the Volunteer Match and the Volunteer Tracking sheet in each site you are recruiting for.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Highly organized.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills.
• Strong interpersonal skills and an ability to work with a diverse variety of individuals.
