Description:
Volunteer coordinators (VC) are the ring leaders of the volunteering process. They provide assistance to team leads and volunteers that help make Mosaic successful. The VC should also aim to make gratitude for volunteering as important as acquiring volunteers.
Helpful skills for a VC include intimate knowledge with Google apps, good organization, works well with others, patience, dedication of anywhere from 1-5 hours a week of work (depending on the time of year), and the ability to effectively delegate tasks to teams and volunteers.
SPECIAL ATTENTION: The most critical task of a VC is make sure that volunteer records are as complete and accurate as possible.
