Volunteer: Community ConnectorThe heartbeat of the ILM Volunteer Hub in the community — showing up, sparking conversations, and turning neighbors into volunteers one connection at a time. ABOUT THIS ROLE Do you love people, thrive in a crowd, and get excited about making a difference right in your own backyard? As a Community Connector for the ILM Volunteer Hub, you'll be our boots on the ground - showing up at farmers markets, community festivals, neighborhood gatherings, and public spaces across New Hanover County, striking up real conversations and inviting residents to discover the many ways they can serve their community through the platform. We're looking for 4–6 volunteers who aren't afraid to walk up to a stranger, share their enthusiasm for the ILM Volunteer Hub, and leave that person feeling inspired to take action. Your mission is to spark genuine connections - you don't need to have all the answers, just a passion for this community and the ability to show up authentically. We'll equip you with everything else. WHAT YOU’LL DO Staff an ILM Volunteer Hub table at assigned community events, farmers markets, neighborhood gatherings, and public spaces — sometimes solo, sometimes alongside another volunteer or staff member Engage community members in genuine conversation about the ILM Volunteer Hub, what it offers, and how to sign up as a volunteer Guide interested individuals through signing up on the platform on-the-spot using a tablet or a QR code they can scan with their smartphone Track sign-ups, engagement, and feedback for each event using a simple outreach log to help measure community reach and inform the annual Volunteer Impact Report Distribute materials and answer common questions about the hub and VLL’s programs Select events from a shared VLL outreach calendar based on your availability (no set weekly commitment required) TIME COMMITMENT This role is fully event-based and flexible. Outreach officially launches in July 2026. From there, VLL maintains a shared outreach calendar and volunteers choose the events that work for their schedule (there is no set weekly commitment). Events typically run 2–6 hours, and we aim to have a presence at 2–4 community events per month. Family-friendly opportunity: Parents are warmly welcomed to bring one child (age 10 and up) to events that are appropriate for youth. This is a meaningful chance for young people to experience volunteerism firsthand, practice engaging with their community, and see what it looks like to show up for others. Events suitable for youth participants will be noted on the outreach calendar. Note: Before your first event, you’ll attend the partner organization onboarding and receive a volunteer orientation covering VLL’s mission, a full walkthrough of the ILM Volunteer Hub, talking points, and all materials you need. You will always have a direct point of contact at VLL before and during events. WHAT YOU’LL GAIN Get out into the community and experience the vibrant events and gatherings that make Wilmington such a special place to live Meet an incredible range of people, from fellow volunteers to nonprofit leaders to neighbors you never knew you had Be a founding member of the ILM Volunteer Hub and play a direct role in growing a movement of community service from the very beginning, with recognition as a founding volunteer A verified volunteer record and recognition as a founding volunteer team member Agency: The Volunteer Leadership Lab The heartbeat of the ILM Volunteer Hub in the community — showing up, sparking conversations, and turning neighbors into volunteers one connection at a time.

Volunteer: Social Media & Marketing VolunteerTurning real stories of service into the spark that inspires the next volunteer to step up. ABOUT THIS ROLE If you've got a keen eye for a great story and a knack for creating content that stops the scroll, this role was made for you. As the Social Media & Marketing Volunteer for the ILM Volunteer Hub, you'll be out in the community — attending events, spending time with Harrelson Center partners, and capturing the real, inspiring moments that make people want to get involved. From engaging reels to thoughtful posts, you'll work alongside the Hub team to build and execute a social media campaign designed to do one thing: move people to act. Whether it's someone signing up to volunteer for the very first time or a seasoned volunteer finding their next opportunity, your content will be the nudge that makes it happen. We're looking for 1-2 passionate, experienced content creators who understand how to speak authentically across platforms and who believe deeply in the power of community. If that's you, we'd love to have you on the team. This role could be an unpaid internship for local CFCC and UNCW students. WHAT YOU’LL DO Collaborate with the Executive Director to develop a monthly content plan aligned with VLL’s programs, calendar, and brand voice Create original content — graphics, captions, stories, and posts — tailored to each platform: Facebook (ILM Volunteer Hub group), Instagram, and LinkedIn Schedule and publish content consistently across platforms, using scheduling tools where applicable and automating as much as possible Monitor and engage with comments, messages, and community interactions — responding warmly and flagging anything that needs the Executive Director’s attention Amplify partner organization stories, volunteer spotlights, and community impact moments Track basic engagement metrics (reach, follows, post-performance) and share a brief monthly summary with the Executive Director WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR Active, confident user of Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn — you understand how each platform works and what performs well on each Strong writing skills and a natural feel for authentic, community-centered brand voice Self-directed and consistent Collaborative mindset Genuine enthusiasm for our mission and the communities we serve TIME COMMITMENT We estimate this role requires approximately 6-8 hours per month — a mix of content creation, scheduling, and community engagement. Exact hours will vary based on what’s happening in VLL’s calendar. The work is largely remote and self-scheduled, with a brief monthly check-in with the Executive Director to align on content priorities. More than one volunteer may be placed in this role to reduce the load each volunteer carries. LEADERSHIP PATHWAY This role is designed to grow. Here’s where it can go: Now: One lead volunteer managing all three platforms in close collaboration with the Executive Director. As VLL grows: Expand into a small social media team, with volunteers owning specific platforms or content types — and you leading that team. Long-term: As VLL’s funding matures, this role has the potential to transition into a paid part-time position for the right person. Timing is funding-dependent and not expected in Year 1 — but it’s part of the vision. Note: You’ll receive a full brand orientation before you post anything — covering VLL’s mission, voice, visual identity, and the story of what we’re building. No content goes live without a collaborative review process in place, especially in the early months as we establish our voice together. WHAT YOU’LL GAIN Build an impressive, real-world portfolio you can showcase to future employers or clients — you’ll be helping build the brand identity and social presence of a nonprofit from the ground up Hands-on experience in nonprofit marketing and community storytelling — using your creativity for a cause that matters and directly inspiring others to get involved and give back Build meaningful connections with nonprofit leaders, community advocates, and fellow creatives in the Wilmington area The opportunity to grow into a team lead role — and potentially a paid position — as VLL scales Play a founding role in shaping the voice and brand identity of a brand new community initiative from the ground up, with recognition as a founding volunteer of the ILM Volunteer Hub Agency: The Volunteer Leadership Lab Turning real stories of service into the spark that inspires the next volunteer to step up.
