BookGive seeks a volunteer to take on the role of Station Manager. Our station managers oversee daily operations including opening and closing procedures; receiving book donations; orienting volunteers; assigning volunteer duties; coordinating book deliveries; sorting books; and general office management tasks.
The Station Manager will fulfill their volunteer hours at the Service Station. In the case of a shutdown, remote tasks can be assigned to fulfill volunteer hours. Station Managers report to the Executive Director. This role will spend time working with our ED and with various volunteers.
Currently, we are seeking one Station Manager to volunteer 3-4 hours per week to be completed in one shift . Hours can be arranged that match the needs of the volunteer. Currently, our hours are weekdays only. We intend to increase our operational hours to eventually include one Saturday a month.
