Volunteer Outreach Coordinator

iMentor is seeking four Volunteer Outreach Coordinators (VOCs) to help recruit volunteer mentors to match with students. They will do this by increasing the number of new leads for iMentor’s regional programs and our partners through passive, grassroots, cold and warm individual outreach techniques.

This role will report to the Senior Director of Program Operations.

The ideal candidate will have experience in cold-calling and/or canvassing, volunteer engagement, or prospect research and will have superb phone communication skills with the ability to motivate others to take action. This role will be roughly 20 hours spread across 4-5 days each week. While most work will happen between 9:00-6:00 and hours are somewhat flexible to accommodate your needs, occasional evening and Saturday availability is a must.
