    Description

    Volunteer Support Lead (Virtual/Remote) volunteer

    Volunteer Support Lead Volunteer

    Level: Senior-Level

    Department: Organizational Leadership

    Location: Virtual / Remote

    Overview:

    This is a mission-critical leadership volunteer role. You’ll build and oversee the full HR/volunteer system-creating tools, guiding strategy, and supporting team leads across the org. You’ll build what doesn't exist yet and guide others in making it last.

    What You’ll Do:

    • Design and launch a working HR department from the ground up
    • Build out volunteer role descriptions, onboarding flows, and compliance steps
    • Lead interviews for other HR roles (Specialists, Recruiters, etc.)
    • Ensure legal and ethical HR documentation
    • Guide the full lifecycle: recruitment → onboarding → exit
    • Work closely with the President and executive team
    • Track impact and advise on team culture and development

    You’re Great At:

    • Leading with strategy and clarity
    • Building people systems that serve real needs
    • Understanding compliance and documentation
    • Managing a team of HR volunteers
    • Navigating change, ambiguity, and growth

    Bonus if you:

    • Have HR Director or Senior Manager experience
    • Are familiar with nonprofit, youth development, or mission-driven organizations
    • Can create documents and systems from scratch

    Why Join Us?

    We believe no youth should feel vulnerable-and that starts with building strong, supportive systems for the people serving them. As HR Director, you’ll be key in building the team behind the mission. Let’s do this right, from the inside out.

    Please note: you must reside in the US to volunteer in this role! Additionally, please only expect a reply if we are interested in moving forward with your application! Thank you.
