Bisexual Organizing Project (BOP) seeks to contract with an individual to create and maintain a volunteer program to support and expand the programs and activities BOP offers. Initial commitment is expected to be approximately 10 hours per week. This is a paid, 1099 contractor position.

This position will need to develop a volunteer database based on existing data collected both electronically and on paper records. Information will need to be verified and areas of interest identified through contacts with individuals. A system for managing the information about the various needs for volunteers will need to be established and board members, committee chairs and project leads will need to be trained in its use.

It is extremely important that BOP volunteers be satisfied with their volunteer experience so a check in or feedback system will need to be established and responded to. Some training of volunteer supervisors may be necessary to enhance the volunteer experience.

As an all-volunteer nonprofit, it is very important to BOP that the VC not take on additional duties outside the management of volunteer opportunities.
