volunteer manager

Volunteer managers work across the non-profit sector to recruit, train, motivate and supervise volunteers. They are in charge of designing volunteer assignments, recruiting volunteers, reviewing the tasks undertaken and impact made, providing feedback and managing their overall performance against the objectives of the organisation. Volunteer coordinators might also manage online volunteering activities, sometimes known as cyber-volunteering or e-volunteering.

The most in-demand skills for this role include project management, data protection, validation of learning acquired through volunteering, labour law, capacity building, leadership principles. These are the skills O*NET identifies as most important for competent performance.

Our AI-durability model gives volunteer manager a score of 0.50 on a 0-1 scale (higher = more exposure). That places it at moderate AI exposure — some tasks are being automated but the role adapts. Learning to work with AI tools rather than against them is the path forward.
