<br />Memorandum <br /> <br />}trv.J\' is w,5 <br /> <br />To: Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />From: Council Member Greg Schroeder <br /> <br />Date: February 9, 2004 <br /> <br />Subject: RoseviJIe Volunteer Coordinator/Program <br /> <br />The following is a draft of what 1 believe the Volunteer Coordinator Position and Program should be. 1 would <br />like to request staff to determine the.fJ2!.lfor this position and program; a~ issues; and any additional dutip: <br />and bring this item back to the Council at the February 23rd meeting for Council discussion and possible <br />authorization. <br /> <br />Vision of volunteer program: <br /> <br />To have an actively involved volunteer community help make our city a better place in which to live. <br /> <br />Mission of volunteer program: <br /> <br />To have a strong volunteer program that could aid staff in adequately providing the services and activities our <br />residents expect under any economic times. <br /> <br />Volunteer Coordinator Position - I envision this position as the following: <br /> <br />Full-time - With the duties I envision this position handling (stated below), I feel this could and should be full- <br />time. I feel we need a staff person to run this program to make it work, because volunteerism needs to be done on <br />a regular, year round basis. There needs to be someone in charge that can motivate volunteers on a regular basis. <br />By Council supporting a full-time staff position this would show our commitment to making this program work in <br />the manner it should be. It would also show a long-tenn support towards the person hired, as benefits are a vital <br />part of any job. I envision this not to be an 8-5 job. Tlus person would have to work irregular hours, so they Can <br />be actively involved in recruiting volunteers, working with the volunteers, and motivating volunteers any day and <br />any time. <br /> <br />Experience - I think work experience should weigh in at the same level as education. I feel there are many <br />qualified people out there without a fonnal post-secondary educational background that have committed their <br />lives to helping others and their work experience in leading the way or managing volunteer programs should <br />count just as much as aBA, MA or Ph.D . We need someone who will organize a volunteer program, it's <br />volunteers and keep these volunteers on a long-term basis by motivation and working with them hands~on. I can't <br />stress enough that this has to be a special person that is committed to "volunteers" not just managing a "program". <br /> <br />Duties and responsibilities - Right now I envision this person possibly doing the following (along with <br />volunteers helping with the process): <br /> <br /><) Setting up this program and managing it <br /><) Recruiting volunteers of any age and seeking out donations to help run the program successfully. <br /><) Working with staff to see what the needs of their departments are and what job opportunities volunteers <br />wou Id be allowed to help with. <br />e> Motivating volunteers and donors to make their commitment long-term. <br />.. Keeping residents, civic organizations, schools, churches, businesses, etc. informed of ways they can <br />volunteer or donate resources. <br />.. Working with volunteers and donors to see that they are paired with ajob that best meets their expertise or <br />interest. <br />
