E. relies almost exclusively on volunteers to process and manage our inventory. We need to keep bright, energetic, enthusiastic volunteers coming back again and again.

The Volunteer Management Intern will be trained to recruit, train, manage and supervise these volunteers The Volunteer Management Intern will collaborate with the Operations Director and the Volunteer Coordinator in order to ensure that all new volunteers are provided with an informative orientation before they are placed in work areas where they are the most comfortable and can best utilize their skillset.

Furthermore, the Volunteer Management Intern will be responsible for providing the best service to all volunteers-new and veterans by coordinating with team leaders, physicians, nurses, and engineers. The emphasis will be on volunteer retention. The Intern will also represent Project C.
