Volunteer: Volunteer Leadership Development Program for a Nonprofit
About the role
This is a volunteer opportunity provided by Taproot Foundation, a nonprofit creating social change through pro bono connections. Face Friends Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Sugar Hill, Georgia dedicated to alleviating food insecurity and reducing health and educational disparities for youth, unemployed adults, and small business owners in the Gwinnett County corridor. We have built a dedicated all-volunteer leadership team across five departments — Communications & Marketing, Strategic Partnerships & Fundraising Development, Operations & Technology, Grants, and Recruitment & Onboarding. Our volunteers are talented, credentialed professionals who believe in what we are building. What we have not done is formally assess their readiness to lead in a fully virtual, asynchronous nonprofit environment.
Responsibilities
- Conduct a comprehensive Volunteer Leadership Assessment evaluating each of our five department heads and volunteer leaders across four core competencies — virtual team management, asynchronous communication, project accountability, and mission alignment.
- The finished assessment identifies individual strengths, development gaps, and a personalized growth pathway for each leader, and becomes the baseline every future leadership review is measured against.
