Become a Volunteer Leader
Join our Flexible Volunteer Leadership Program (FLEX for short).
What a great way to fine tune your leadership skills while adding valuable experience to your resume!
The Volunteer Center will train you to be a volunteer leader, provide you with volunteer leadership opportunities (projects), mentor you on your first project, and provide you with encouragement and guidance on subsequent projects.
On your resume, you will be able to claim:
- Organization skills -- we will provide you guidance on how to organize volunteer projects
- Communication skills -- you will work directly with the non-profit organization and with the volunteers to ensure objectives and logistics are clearly communicated
- Leadership skills -- you are the lead, ensuring that the project is properly planned and executed, including all logistics and reporting
- Management skills -- get that first taste of managing people and projects; learn the importance of motivation, incentives, and meeting objectives
