Volunteer Coordinator Reviews
What is it like working as a Volunteer Coordinator?
March 2017
The amount of paperwork involved.
Volunteer Coordinator in Phoenix:
Be prepared to be flexible, organized and can multi task. You must have excellent communication and interpersonal relations skills. Stick to 40 hours weekly because it's easy to work longer hours because you're work is never done....It is ongoing day to day.
February 2017

Be prepared to do any role happily and roll with change.

Volunteer Coordinator:
Provide volunteers with more than enough information about opportunities and job requirements.
Be the boss, but show respect, compassion, and above all, appreciation for their time and hard work.
November 2015
Love the people, don't love the pay.
Volunteer Coordinator:
Pros: Getting to work very closely with the volunteers every day, even sometimes just over email or the phone, is very satisfying. The department is made up of people who are great to work with, which makes for a generally pleasant work environment.
Cons: Despite being the coordinator for a group of about three hundred people (without whom the organization would cease to function on a day-to-day basis), this position is not treated as management level in any respect. In fact, it remains one of the lowest ranking full-time positions in the organization. Compensation is obscenely below market, and the meager number of vacation days (10, which are also supposed to make up for all of the holidays that employees of other businesses receive) does little to alleviate the frustration that brings.
