Manage our opportunities posted here with Spark The Change. Coordinators must match interested volunteers with an opportunity that suits their skill set and serves the organization. Volunteer coordinators must make an effort to ensure that individual volunteers feel comfortable with their placements and fully understand their responsibilities. Coordinators may conduct interviews to determine the roles that volunteers will take.

In some cases, volunteer coordinators may work with large groups rather than individuals. In these instances, the coordinator serves as a point of contact for all parties. Whether they are working with a single volunteer or a large group, volunteer coordinators must ensure that all workers receive proper training. They may lead on-the-job training or conduct informational sessions prior to volunteer events.

Volunteer coordinators must also maintain communication with existing volunteers. Since volunteers are usually unpaid and their services greatly contribute to an organization's functions, it is important that they feel appreciated and stay informed. Volunteer coordinators may hold events to thank volunteers or send individual correspondences. Informative e-mails and newsletters are often sent to volunteers to keep them abreast of happenings within the organization and informed of additional opportunities to participate.
