Volunteer Coordinator — Build Our Volunteer Program From Scratch
Details
Description
Embrace Abilities is a growing nonprofit founded by a mom raising a child with a disability. We support families of children with disabilities by connecting them to resources, community, and hope.
Currently, we have no formal volunteer program — just occasional calls for help. We use Google Workspace and Slack but are open to recommendations for better tools or systems to help us organize and grow. As we become insured and expand, we need your help building a strong volunteer structure.
What You’ll Do
Work closely with our founder (a full-time working parent and student) to:
- Organize and track volunteer information, hours, and roles
- Create a volunteer intake form to capture skills, interests, and availability
- Help set up volunteer teams or channels for clear communication
- Develop an onboarding process to make volunteering easy and consistent
- Recommend tools or software to improve volunteer management and tracking
- Communicate primarily via email to fit the founder’s busy schedule
Who You Are
- Comfortable using or learning Google Workspace and Slack
- Organized, proactive, and able to create systems from scratch
- Patient and empathetic toward the challenges of a busy nonprofit leader
- Passionate about disability inclusion and community support
- Able to commit approximately 4–6 flexible hours per week
