Position Summary
We are seeking dedicated individuals to join our team as AmeriCorps VIP Fellows. In this role, you will have the opportunity to serve your community by building and enhancing volunteer programming, engaging volunteers, and supporting the mission-driven work of our partner organizations.
VIP Fellows build volunteer capacity at existing nonprofits, government agencies and schools (Partner Sites) that serve children, youth, and families. They do this through 1) building sustainable systems to track, support, manage, and train virtual or in person volunteers; 2) recruiting one-time and skills-based volunteers; and 3) raising funds to support the development of the volunteer program.
Partner Sites change annually based on community and agency needs, and have included organizations such as Food Banks, Boys & Girls Clubs, Community Health Centers, Environmental Education organizations and more!

Extensive training in volunteer management and nonprofit professional skills is provided.

Partner Sites change annually based on community and agency need, and these positions have included placements at several nonprofits and school districts in both Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park/Cotati. These positions are a valuable opportunity to develop and apply your leadership and community organizing skills to make a lasting difference. Extensive training in volunteer management and nonprofit professional skills is provided.
Program Overview
