Volunteer and Outreach Chair

Powered By Love is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization rooted in grassroots action. Our mission is to translate "Love in Action" into systemic stability by delivering essential resources at scale to economically vulnerable and unhoused communities, recognizing and supporting their inherent humanity.

The Opportunity: The 831 Experience

We are offering an intensive, high-impact Student Leadership Residency for an empathetic and highly organized workforce strategist to serve as the Volunteer & Outreach Chair for our flagship event, The 831 Experience, taking place on October 16th–17th, 2026, in Phoenix, AZ. This high-impact, scaled community restoration event is strategically designed to serve exactly 75 unhoused guests alongside 75 volunteer navigators.

Role Purpose

As the "relational heart of the operation," you will take absolute ownership of the end-to-end recruitment, scheduling, and training lifecycle for up to a 150-person force. You will build talent pipelines, configure workforce management software, and design trauma-informed training orientations. This is a local/hybrid role: volunteer sourcing, communications, and digital scheduling can be managed flexibly online, but you must have a local presence in Phoenix to host in-person orientations and manage the volunteer pods on the ground in October.
