View full position description here.

The AmeriCorps Volunteer Coordinator activates local community members to get involved and make an impact in their community by volunteering with Rebuilding Together. The AmeriCorps Volunteer Coordinator will engage both skilled-trades and unskilled volunteers to build our capacity through a number of opportunities, including hand-on repair work, warehouse management, client education in healthy housing or home maintenance, and to serve in special roles on rebuilding days (ex: safety captains, supplies/materials runners, photographers). The AmeriCorps Volunteer Coordinator will ensure volunteers receive a proper orientation to Rebuilding Together’s work, and are placed with appropriate rebuilding projects based on skill/experience. The AmeriCorps Volunteer Coordinator will implement project evaluations to continuously improve the quality of volunteer experiences, as well as show our appreciation to volunteers for their service to our clients.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities:

  • Conduct general volunteer outreach, including giving presentations to groups of various sizes, attending community meetings and other neighborhood events, and tabling at volunteer or community fairs.
  • Design and conduct volunteer orientations and training, including both general volunteers and volunteers serving in special roles (see above).
  • Match volunteers with projects based on availability and skill. Serve as the main point of contact with volunteers to ensure they have all necessary information before coming out to the project.
  • Collaborate with staff to place volunteers with appropriate rebuilding projects, schedule projects and develop project timelines, get tools and materials on site, and other logistical concerns.
  • Support general volunteers in completing direct hands-on repairs. Ensure that volunteers are trained in their task and have access to tools/materials, that proper safety procedures are being followed, that the work product is of good quality, and that volunteers enjoy and feel appreciated for their service.
  • Collaborate with staff to complete direct hands-on repairs, including but not limited to: rough/trim carpentry, tile work, grab bar installation, wheelchair ramp/safe entry/egress repairs, interior/exterior painting, and weatherization.
  • Maintain the system for tracking current and interested volunteers; communications and intake; skill, interest, and availability; past project attendance and upcoming project registrations.
  • Create continuous and sustainable engagement through a variety of media (social media, newsletter, and volunteer search engines, as well as brochures, flyers, and other printed materials). Contribute volunteer-focused content to tell the stories of our homeowners and the impact our volunteers and partners have had on their homes and lives.
  • As a grassroots non-profit, all team members will have an active role in implementing larger rebuilding projects throughout the year. They will assist with project logistics several times throughout the year, including registering volunteers, checking in with volunteers throughout the project day, coordinating volunteer logistics such as lunches and bathrooms, assisting with set up/tear down, or taking photos.
