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 an initial welcome email (or phone call) and pass them to the appropriate coordinators
• Periodically upload volunteer applications from our forms system to our Animal System Manager  
• Interview potential volunteers to assess their level of interest, dedication, and qualification for coordinator and/or assistant positions
• Attend Coordinator meetings
• Submit monthly reports to Board
