School Outreach Volunteer

Leveling the Fields | Volunteer Position

Location: Charleston tri-county area; remote outreach and local school visits

Time Commitment: Approximately 3–5 hours per week, with daytime availability

Reports to: Executive Director or designated Programs Committee lead

Leveling the Fields is a nonprofit that increases girls’ participation in sports as a pathway to leadership and confidence. We bring programs directly to schools, helping girls explore different sports while building teamwork, resilience, and belief in themselves. Our programs are fully funded at participating Title I schools.

About the Role

The School Outreach Volunteer connects with local schools through phone calls, emails, and in-person visits to introduce Leveling the Fields and encourage schools to apply for our programs.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify potential school partners and find contact information for principals, PE teachers, after-school directors, and other decision-makers.
• Call and email schools to introduce LTF, explain our programs, and share the school application.
• Visit local schools to deliver materials and introduce LTF, following each school’s visitor procedures.
• Follow up consistently with interested schools and encourage them to complete their applications.
• Answer basic program questions using LTF-provided information and connect school staff with our team for more detailed conversations.
• Schedule introductory calls or meetings between interested schools and LTF leadership.
• Track contacts, outreach activity, responses, and next steps in our shared outreach system.
• Keep the team informed about school interest, questions, and potential barriers to participation.
• Communicate clearly that applications are reviewed and program placement depends on funding, scheduling, and capacity.

Who Would Be a Great Fit?

• A friendly, proactive communicator who is comfortable making calls and introducing themselves in person.
• Someone organized and dependable who follows through and keeps accurate records.
• A relationship-builder who can listen to a school’s needs and explain how LTF may help.
• Someone passionate about helping girls develop leadership and confidence through sports.
• A volunteer with reliable transportation for local school visits.

Experience in sales, community outreach, education, or relationship management is helpful, but not required.

What We Provide

LTF will provide program information, outreach templates, talking points, school application links, marketing materials, and guidance from our team.

The Impact You’ll Make

Every school connection creates an opportunity to reach girls who may otherwise miss out on sports. Your outreach will help more schools take the first step toward bringing those opportunities to their students.
