Volunteer Coordinator

Volunteer Coordinator – Must be a Surfrider Foundation Member, approximately 2 to 10 hours a week, 2-year commitment, one chapter meeting per month and or Executive Committee meeting per month. One of the most important jobs in the chapter because there are typically hundreds of members in every chapter.

• Coordinate with committees (campaign or events) and/or campaign and program leaders to identify volunteer needs.
• Lead volunteer recruitment by communicating those needs to the membership and posting volunteer opportunities elsewhere as appropriate.
• Uses the Surfrider Foundation Golden Volunteer Management System to manage and recruit volunteers to all activities including but not limited, beach clean ups, general meetings, events and campaign actions.
• Get to know volunteers, their interests and match them to opportunities.
• Respond to inquiries from people seeking to volunteer.
• Contribute to the chapter’s website and social media pages.
• Possibly – communicate to the chapter membership via mass emails.
• *Note: unless the Volunteer Coordinator wants to, the Volunteer Coordinator is not expected to lead a program (i.e. beach cleanups) or lead specialized volunteer training (i.e. for water quality monitoring). These duties fall to the respective Program Leaders.
