Volunteer Fundraising and Engagement Coordinators

The Fundraising and Engagement Coordinator recruits, assists in training, and manages volunteers for various Face Friends Foundation service projects that address specific program and community needs. The volunteers recruited, oriented, and trained by the community engagement coordinator consist of a combination of college students, local community service organizations, and others who can participate in a range of volunteer service projects. Volunteer service project categories include one-day, short-term, and long-term service projects. Examples include volunteering at our Annual Back to School backpack and school supplies drive at Walmart.
