Role Description - Volunteer Coordinator


Every member of the MLRR team is a volunteer, and we literally could not exist without the endless efforts of each, whether it be to help transport new MLRR dogs, create awareness at Events, foster the dogs we bring into our rescue, or countless other ways volunteers make what we do possible.

The primary purpose of the Volunteer Coordinator’s role is to strengthen and grow the MLRR volunteer team through recruitment and communication. The ideal candidate has a positive energy, loves people and social gatherings. Estimated commitment is 10-15 hours per month.

The Volunteer Coordinator will:

  • Explore and institute fresh ways to recruit new volunteers
  • Attend MLRR events that offer the opportunity to recruit volunteers
  • Review volunteer applications, send a welcome email (or phone call) and pass them onto our coordinators through email introductions
  • Interview potential volunteers to assess their level of interest, dedication, and qualification for coordinator and/or assistant positions
  • Attend quarterly Board/Coordinator meetings
