A volunteer coordinator usually recruits the volunteers in a non-profit organization. This means that the volunteer coordinator has screened people for certain skills, experience, and interest in various positions. They try to make good matches, but it is left to the actual job supervisor to make the relationship work out for everyone's benefit.

The supervisor follows the same process with a volunteer as she would with a regular staff person to orient, train and offer supportive supervision.

Orientation to a Volunteer Job

A volunteer is usually given a general orientation by the volunteer coordinator for the organization. This would include all the history, mission, and purpose of the non-profit's service in the community. It is the supervisor's responsibility to put the volunteer's job in the context of that larger picture.
