Job Responsibilities

You are a servant leader.

Your passion for helping people is undeniable. You know the impact volunteers can have on the work of the organization, and you view volunteering as community engagement, not free labor. You not only inspire and interact with volunteers but, you are great at integrating volunteering into the organization and helping staff create assignments and involve volunteers.

You are an excellent communicator.

You have strong written, verbal, and interpersonal skills. Whether you are meeting face to face with a volunteer or speaking with them by phone or email, your charm, charisma, and dynamic personality shines through. Your writing is clear, concise, complete, and compelling in a manner that accurately reflects the Mission’s goals.

You are a collaborative team player.

You’re as comfortable meeting with the CEO as you are meeting with a guest staying at the Mission. You know the value of building strong relationships with co-workers, leadership, community leaders, church staff, and volunteers. You have the ability to see the big picture and assess how volunteers can help the Mission accomplish its goals.

You are organized and detail-oriented.

Being detail-oriented isn’t a sound bite; it’s one of your strongest qualities. You have a talent for creating and maintaining systems to sustain the Mission’s volunteer program at every phase of the volunteer engagement cycle. You enjoy the process of data tracking, including volunteer scheduling, and background check results. It’s the attention to data that allows you to fine-tune your practices and ramp up volunteer retention. You are smart, organized, and a friendly face who can manage multiple duties while also taking exceptional care of our volunteers.

You are willing to tackle any task.

No task is too big or too small for you. You will do whatever is needed to get the job done. You have strong administrative and time management skills. You can think and act with purpose and integrity. You are comfortable working in a fast-paced work environment and successfully maintain professionalism and positive attitude at all times. You are adaptable and flexible within an ever-changing work environment. You are willing and able to work major holidays, some nights, and weekends.
