Employee volunteering programme coordinators work across sectors and fields to coordinate and manage the employee volunteering (sometimes called corporate volunteering) programme for their employer. They are in charge of connecting with local community organisations to determine needs and arrange for volunteers from within the staff of the company to engage with local entities, such as local authorities or local civil society organisations, to meet those needs. Employee volunteering programme coordinators might also arrange for volunteers to undertake their duties online in collaboration with civil society initiatives meeting identified needs. These roles can exist in the company or setting where the employees are based and also in the civil society organisation who receives the volunteers from the employee or corporate volunteering scheme.
