• Coordinate onboarding, training, and check-ins for new volunteers.

• Support in-person volunteer logistics during occasional South Project events (preferred if local).

• Track and maintain volunteer records, hours, and engagement metrics.

• Help foster a culture of belonging, recognition, and accountability among volunteers.

Time Commitment:

• Flexible, remote role.

• Estimated 3-5 hours per week.

What We're Looking For:

• Passion for community, empowerment, and organizational impact.

• Strong organizational and written communication skills.

• Experience in volunteer coordination, HR, nonprofit operations, or administration a plus.

• Comfortable with tools like Google Workspace, Mailchimp, Slack, or CRMs.

• Self-starter with the ability to work independently and remotely.

• Based in or near Richmond, TX (preferred but not required).

• Bonus: Experience developing policies, handbooks, or SOPs.
