Talent Coordinator For Volunteers

We would like to support our volunteers and help connect them to recruiters and hiring managers looking for talent. We currently work with a team of over 20 volunteers, much of whom are still completing their undergraduate degree. Our objective with this Talent Coordinator project is to create a mailing list of recruiters and hiring managers who will be sent our monthly newsletters. Starting February 2023, our monthly newsletter will feature two volunteers per month, their work portfolio and a short project that they have completed in the past. Our aim here to is make recruiters and hiring managers more aware of the amazing work our volunteers do with the goal of potentially hiring them or scheduling an interview with them.

Familiarizing themselves with our past fundraising activities and donors. Conducting background research on fundraising strategies. Recommending suitable fundraising strategies and creating a timeline / calendar of these activities. Bonus steps in the process would also include: Assisting in implementing new fundraising activities.
