Coordinator, Volunteer Services
About The Position
Win is dedicated to breaking the cycle of homelessness by providing transitional and supportive shelters for women-led families. Many of our families have escaped domestic violence and strive to keep their families together and safe. Win’s Income Building Program supports our clients by facilitating their transition from unemployment to employment and helping those already employed to improve their circumstances. This includes increasing wages, moving from part-time to full-time work, securing health benefits, and transitioning from off-the-books to on-the-books positions. Additionally, Win offers financial literacy workshops to equip our clients with essential skills such as budgeting, bill paying, and basic fiscal management. Win’s current operating budget is approximately $150 million, with $14 million raised privately through private and corporate funding, supporting programs and services including the Income Building Program and Camp Win. The Volunteer Services Coordinator is responsible for the administration and management of volunteer programs, in-kind donations, and other projects in the Volunteer Services Department. This job includes project management, administrative tasks, volunteer supervision, and commuting to Win sites throughout New York City for programs/events (mostly weekdays, rarely evenings/weekends).
