    • Conduct a brief onboarding conversation within 72 hours of their arrival
    • Walk new members through their role, task cards, and first assignment within their first week
    • Post a brief weekly activity note confirming onboarding actions taken
    • Support the recruitment pipeline by reviewing incoming applications and flagging strong candidates

    Who you are:

    • Warm, people centered, and genuinely excited about welcoming others
    • Organized and reliable — you follow through without being reminded
    • Comfortable working independently in a virtual asynchronous environment
    • Background in HR, volunteer management, customer service, or community outreach a plus
