We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to extract relevant info from posting.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate.
We need sections: About the role (role overview), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills maybe combined? The instruction: use headings for those categories if content exists. We can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should only include sections with real specific content.
Let's parse posting:
Organization: Mentor A Promise, Advocacy Coordinator (Volunteer). Location: Fully Remote — United States, with NYC-based collaboration as needed. Type: Volunteer. Commitment: Approximately 5–10 hours per week. Minimum Commitment: 6 months. Reports To: Director of Advocacy / PromisePublic Leadership. Works Closely With ... list.
About Mentor A Promise: description.
About PromisePublic: description.
Role Overview: Advocacy Coordinator supports planning, coordination, execution, documentation of MAP's advocacy initiatives. Working with PromisePublic leadership, helps move advocacy priorities from ideas into organized action. This may include researching issues, tracking legislation and public policy, coordinating campaigns, preparing advocacy materials, organizing meetings, supporting coalition relationships, maintaining outreach records, assisting with public education, and following up on advocacy commitments. The Coordinator is not expected to independently determine MAP's policy positions. The role helps ensure that once an advocacy priority has been appropriately established, MAP has the coordination necessary to move it forward responsibly. The central question is What needs to happen next to turn an advocacy priority into organized, informed, and sustained action?
Then sections: Advocacy Coordination Support (list), Advocacy Campaigns (description), Policy & Legislative Research, Legislative & Government Tracking, Government & Stakeholder Outreach, Community Voice, Youth Voice & Civic Learning, Coalition & Partnership Support, Advocacy Communications, Advocacy Meetings, Advocacy Tracking & Documentation, Research, Evidence & Impact, Nonpartisan Advocacy & Compliance, Safeguarding, Privacy & Dignity, Cross-Divisional Collaboration, What Success Looks Like.
We need to produce sections: About the role (role overview), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe qualifications?), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule beyond volunteer commitment hours and minimum commitment. Those could go under Schedule? The posting mentions commitment approx 5-10 hrs per week, minimum 6 months. That's schedule info. Could put under Schedule heading. Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay? Volunteer, no pay. Should we include Pay section? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state volunteer (no pay) but not a salary. It says Type Volunteer. Could we consider that as Pay? Probably not, because they didn't state compensation. Safer to omit Pay and Benefits. Schedule we have commitment hours and minimum commitment, so we can include Schedule.
Requirements: maybe none explicit besides volunteer, ability to work remote, etc. Not explicit qualifications. Could we infer? Better to omit Requirements if no specific content. Skills: maybe implied: research, coordination, communication, etc. But those are responsibilities. Could we create Skills section from listed skills? The posting mentions: researching issues, tracking legislation, coordinating campaigns, preparing advocacy materials, organizing meetings, supporting coalition relationships, maintaining outreach records, assisting with public education, following up on advocacy commitments. Also policy research, legislative tracking, government outreach, community voice, youth voice, coalition support, advocacy communications, meeting prep, tracking documentation, research evidence, nonpartisan advocacy, safeguarding, cross-divisional collaboration. Those are more responsibilities than skills. But we could extract skills: policy research, legislative tracking, stakeholder outreach, community engagement, youth engagement, coalition building, advocacy communications, meeting facilitation, documentation, data use, compliance awareness, confidentiality handling. Might be okay to create Skills section.
But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We can list skills that are explicitly mentioned as actions; but turning them into skill headings may be considered summarizing. However the instruction: Use

But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We can list skills that are explicitly mentioned as actions; but turning them into skill headings may be considered summarizing. However the instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can put duties under Responsibilities. For Skills, we need explicit list of skills; if not present, we should omit Skills section. Safer to omit Skills if not explicitly listed as skills.
Requirements: maybe none explicit. Could we treat "Minimum Commitment 6 months" as requirement? That's more schedule. Could treat "Approximately 5–10 hours per week" as schedule. So we may have only About the role, Responsibilities, Schedule.
We also have location: Fully Remote — United States, with NYC-based collaboration as needed. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not in allowed headings. Could fold into About the role paragraph.
Thus output:

Schedule
Approximately 5–10 hours per week, with a minimum commitment of 6 months.
We must preserve all substantive information; we need to include location, type volunteer, reports to, works closely with list maybe in About the role or Responsibilities? The "Works Closely With" list is part of role context; could be included in About the role.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. We'll not include "Advocacy Coordinator". We'll include the description.
Let's craft About the role paragraph: combine role overview, organization description, location, type, reports to, works closely with.
We must be careful not to invent. Use info from posting.
