iMentor is seeking four Volunteer Outreach Coordinators (VOCs) to help recruit volunteer mentors to match with students. They will do this by increasing the number of new leads for iMentor’s regional programs and our partners through passive, grassroots, cold and warm individual outreach techniques. This is a primarily remote, part-time, seasonal position (from September until mid-December) that will support our mentor recruitment teams during their most critical season. This role will report to the Senior Director of Program Operations.
The ideal candidate will have experience in cold-calling and/or canvassing, volunteer engagement, or prospect research and will have superb phone communication skills with the ability to motivate others to take action. This role will be roughly 20 hours spread across 4-5 days each week. While most work will happen between 9:00-6:00 and hours are somewhat flexible to accommodate your needs, occasional evening and Saturday availability is a must.
ResponsibilitiesAbout iMentor
At iMentor, we believe in the transformative power of mentorship as a force for good. We partner with schools in communities in which a majority of students will be first-generation college students. iMentor matches every 11th and 12th grade student in our high schools with a committed mentor – offering each mentee, regardless of background or GPA, a champion for their success.
Mentors can provide students with a level of personalized support that cannot be achieved through traditional school counseling alone. Of the most recent graduating high school class, 81% of students learned about a new post-secondary pathway through iMentor and 93% were accepted into college and intend to enroll. Since 1999, iMentor has served more than 42,000 students and is poised to scale our model to make mentoring accessible across the country.
Our Commitment to Community, Educational Access, and Opportunity
Central to our mission is a dedication to creating an environment where all stakeholders, including students, mentors, and staff, feel valued and supported. We are committed to the ongoing effort and investment required to ensure that all students have access to the resources and support needed to succeed. Recognizing that historical and systemic challenges continue to impact educational outcomes, we focus on addressing economic and structural barriers that affect the communities we serve.
