Growth path

This role starts near the top of the Level 1 range ($13.25-$17.25 per hour), so step raises have limited room. Pay grows mainly through added responsibility. When the role takes on coordinating people, such as leading a team of volunteers or managing a volunteer group, it can be reviewed for Level 2, Manager / Coordinator ($16.25-$20.25 per hour).
