;Volunteer Coordinator |
|||
The [[Wikimedia Foundation]], with less than twenty paid employees, is largely a volunteer organization. The Volunteer Coordinator leads the way in opening up new opportunities for volunteers to contribute to the [[mission]] and day-to-day work of the Foundation, and typically works in the Wikimedia Office in [[w:San Francisco|San Francisco]], [[w:California|California]]. |
|||
;Responsibilities |
|||
Volunteer Coordinator responsibilities include: |
|||
* Maintaining a global, public list of tasks across different work areas, through communicating with committees/officers, indicating which areas need volunteer work the most critically at any given time. |
|||
* Advising the [[Board]] and [[Executive Director]] during the setup of new volunteer groups and committees. |
|||
* Ensuring that all volunteer groups in the [[Wikimedia Foundation|WMF]] are operational and reporting their activities on a regular basis and evaluating performance. |
|||
* Being the first personal point of contact for people who wish to do volunteer work for the organization, but don't know where to start. |
|||
* Organizing and advertising regular online events and tutorials to educate people about different areas of volunteering |
|||
* Identifying and reporting when existing volunteer groups such as committees or workgroups may have challenges, and recommending structural changes where needed. |
|||
* Collecting and documenting best practices for volunteer management, partially based on communicating with other non-profits and by research on the topic. |
|||
* Representing Wikimedia at events where we might find useful volunteers from a specific background. |
|||
In short, the Volunteer Coordinator is responsible for achieving what is absolutely critical for the long term sustainability of the Foundation: involving volunteers in every part of our mission. |
|||
Our current Volunteer Coordinator is [[User:Cary Bass|Cary Bass]], who, as a long time community member, adminstrator, bureaucrat and steward, has good familiarity with the Wikimedia Foundation, its processes, and [[Our projects|its projects]] (Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikimedia Commons, and others). |
