  • 1.  Volunteer Coordinator Duties Checklist

    Posted 02-20-2023 07:55 AM

    Hi, everyone

     We recently hired a new position that will solely be our volunteer coordinator. Previously our coordinator was doing everything from fosters to volunteers to social media. Does anyone have daily, weekly, or monthly checklists we can use to start fine-tuning our program and set up our new hire for success?

    Thank you so much!

    If you happen to find one I would love to see it.   Nothing better than getting organized in this part of rescue.  Ty
