Partnerships Coordinator Volunteer

About Pupcycled

Pupcycled is a 100% volunteer-ran nonprofit that turns donated clothing into enrichment toys for shelter puppies across the U.S. Instead of old fabric ending up in landfills (92 million tons every year), it becomes something that keeps a shelter pup calmer, happier, and more adoptable. We operate through volunteer-led chapters, an at-home toy making program, animal shelter partnerships, and community events. In just last year, we donated 3,000+ toys, organized 23 events, partnered with 60+ animal shelters & nonprofits, and grew to 889 volunteers.

Pupcycled is seeking a Partnerships Coordinator to help grow our partnerships team. This role focuses on outreach and relationship-building with corporate partners interested in hosting Pupcycled toy-making events, as well as companies that may be able to source donated materials for upcycling.

The Partnerships Coordinator will work directly with the Executive Director and have a unique opportunity to help shape a growing team from the ground up. We’re looking for someone who is passionate about our mission, full of ideas, and confident communicating through email and outreach.

Time commitment: About 1–2 hours per week, at least 3 months

Responsibilities:

• Reach out to potential corporate partners.
• Help coordinate toy-making events at partner locations.
• Support material sourcing partnerships with clothing brands and other companies.
• Assist with partnership outreach, communication, and follow-up.
• Contribute ideas to grow and strengthen the partnerships team.

Preferred Skills:

• Strong written communication and email skills.
• Self-motivated and organized.
• Creative thinker with interest in outreach and relationship-building.
• Comfortable working independently and directly with leadership.
