About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Engage the volunteer community -- Monitor interactive Colibri Discussion Boards (the program’s online volunteer community forum) and coordinate volunteer recognition efforts (including the Milestone Award recognition process, Volunteer of the Month interviews, and posting volunteer achievements monthly). Alert volunteers to increase loan review needs with challenges and Kiva-related news and initiatives by posting original messaging on Colibri.
Support with cross-functional event planning and motivational messaging during various Kiva campaigns.
Volunteer recruitment -- Research recruitment resources as needed, post job descriptions, and assist in the initial screening of applications.
Assistance with systems -- Assist with QA testing and documentation for improvements to volunteer-facing communication tools (Colibri), the creation of new reference materials (e.g., FAQs, training videos), and refining the transition to automated emails via our preferred email platform (Iterable).
Team collaboration on volunteer engagement logistics -- Draft motivational messaging, plan volunteer events, design and analyze surveys, and strategize on timing and method of communication.
Enhance process efficiency -- Provide input on streamlining recurring volunteer engagement responsibilities for efficiency gains. Propose initiatives that would minimize manual program administration of intern tasks.
New tool research projects -- Help the team source and review new online tools and products to enable programmatic scaling.
General data analysis -- Compilation and analysis of volunteer surveys, polls, and community interaction through click rates and responses and presentation of any results to the team.
