The Volunteer Services Team is currently looking for volunteers to assist with volunteer recruitment statewide. As The Trustees continues to grow, so does the need for a diverse and dedicated team of volunteers. The Recruitment Team will research a diverse community-based pool of volunteers and act as ambassadors for The Trustees reaching out to these volunteers.
This opportunity is for individuals who enjoy meeting new people and building relationships, care about diversity and inclusion, and like working both in a team and independently. You will be joining a highly motivated team that is passionate about volunteering. This is a remote role, and we welcome people from all over MA to join the team!
Additional notes: We are looking for a few additional team members to join the Volunteer Team. We are currently structured where one Volunteer Associate manages a portfolio of properties within a specific region. Our goal is to find a few more volunteers to cover these three regions: Charles River Valley, the Berkshires, and Central MA/Pioneer Valley.
