  • Match volunteer skills and interests to operational needs, manage shift schedules, and maintain accurate volunteer-hour and contribution records.

  • Maintain volunteer communications, recognition activities, and feedback loops that improve retention and operational readiness.

  • Coordinate with the Education Program Manager on volunteer support for STEM and history programs.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Two to four years of volunteer management, community outreach, or program-coordination experience, preferably in a nonprofit or cultural setting.

  • Proficiency with volunteer-management databases, scheduling, training/orientation delivery, and community engagement.

  • Working understanding of volunteer-versus-employee labor considerations and appropriate performance-management boundaries for volunteer programs.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Certified in Volunteer Administration (CVA).

  • Museum, cultural-institution, military-history, public-attraction, or community-service program experience.

  • Public speaking, conflict resolution, multigenerational communication, recognition-program, and volunteer-retention experience.
