The Volunteer and Corporate Outreach Coordinator (VCOC) reports to the Corporate and Foundation Relations Manager as part of a six-person Fund Development department, and is charged with continuing to drive organizational culture change in order to increase financial contributions to TNDC. How? Through relationships with staff in other departments, buildings, and programs, the VCOC will create new and engaging group volunteer opportunities for corporations, recruit for and supervise corporate volunteers, and create and nurture strategic partnerships with local companies.

 We’re looking for someone with a background in volunteer management, community/corporate outreach, and/or non-profit fundraising, with a demonstrated strength and interest in working with people from all types of backgrounds in a collaborative, productive, and personally and culturally sensitive way.  People of color strongly encouraged to apply. 

 Our ideal candidate will happily thrive on connecting with people from all walks of life; knowing how to work in a mutually respectful way with colleagues with different agendas to achieve shared goals; and working with group and individual volunteers in our gardens, buildings, at our events, and in other venues.   All while successfully balancing thoughtful, strategic program development with a non-profit fundraising mindset and good attention to detail.

 This is a good opportunity for an experienced volunteer coordinator/manager with a sincere interest in learning more about non-profit fundraising, or for a seasoned fundraiser with some volunteer coordination experience who wants to take on more corporate outreach and volunteer management.  Our Fund Development team prides itself on being friendly and working together on projects outside our assigned roles to improve how we raise funds.  We look forward to welcoming a new teammate.
