Be the catalyst needed for food service nonprofits to more effectively recruit, engage and retain quality volunteers.  United Way’s Volunteer Manager Corps (VMC) program, developed in partnership with 501 Commons, is recruiting for volunteers and interns to work 10 hours/ week June through September, 2017.  The volunteers help the selected nonprofit agencies develop more effective volunteer management systems, to leverage their volunteer’s time more powerfully.  This summer, programs are available working with the Tukwila Pantry, and Family Works, which manages food banks in Wallingford and Greenwood.

VMC members receive:

• training and support
• experience working in the management of a nonprofit organization
• recognition for helping to increase an organization’s capacity to deliver services
• internship credit if arranged by the VMC member
• a $400 United Way of King County service award, depending on hours completed.

We are seeking those with people skills, an aptitude for process and details, leadership experience, and a commitment to volunteerism. To find out more please email Juli Forman at Juli@501commons.org.

Applications are reviewed in the order received and space is limited, so don’t delay!
