Local Chapter Lead

About us
The Volunteer Well is a Canadian non-profit dedicated to fostering an inclusive and compassionate
society by connecting volunteers (“givers”) with individuals in need (“receivers”).
Through our direct-source volunteering model, we empower individuals, strengthen families, and
unite communities — especially women, seniors, newcomers, low-income individuals, and other
marginalized groups.
Our mission is carried out through the Generosity Hub (currently managed via our private Facebook
Group Marketplace), community programs and events, partnerships with businesses and
philanthropists, and advocacy for generosity as a positive force for social change.
By breaking down barriers to support and encouraging a culture of giving and receiving, we envision a
world where kindness, justice, and human connection thrive.
Why Join Us?
 Be part of a passionate team dedicated to strengthening communities.
 Build meaningful relationships with local organizations and volunteers.
 Gain practical experience in community outreach, coordination, and event planning.
 Contribute to programs that promote inclusion and compassion.
 Work in a hybrid environment — mostly remote, with 4–5 local events every six months.
Role Overview
The Local Chapter Lead serves as the main community contact for The Volunteer Well in their city or
region. This hybrid role blends remote coordination, outreach, and reporting with limited in-person
participation (approximately 4–5 events every six months).
You’ll coordinate small community events, connect with partners, and support volunteer onboarding
— strengthening awareness of the Generosity Hub and building lasting community relationships.
Key Responsibilities
• Promote The Volunteer Well and its Generosity Hub within local communities to build awareness,
engagement, and trust.
• Welcome and support new volunteers and recipients through inclusive and compassionate
onboarding experiences.

• Represent The Volunteer Well at local events, online platforms, and community meetings to increase
visibility and connection.
• Build and maintain relationships with nonprofits, local businesses, and community leaders to foster
collaboration and growth.
• Identify and pursue sponsorship or partnership opportunities that expand community reach.
• Plan and execute small-scale community events every one to two months, ensuring alignment with
local needs.
• Coordinate logistics and communication with venues, partners, and volunteers using digital tools
such as Google Workspace.
• Collect feedback to continuously improve event quality, accessibility, and engagement.
• Provide concise monthly updates and contribute innovative ideas that promote inclusion, teamwork,
and chapter success.
What We’re Looking For
 At least six months of experience in community outreach, volunteer coordination, or event
facilitation.
 Strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills.
 Organized, dependable, and comfortable communicating with diverse groups.
 Familiarity with your region’s nonprofit and community networks (an asset).
 Self-motivated and aligned with our values of inclusion, compassion, and shared responsibility.
