Make an impact. Build connections. Help our community serve together.

The City of Casper is looking for an organized, people-focused professional to build and lead a citywide volunteer services program that connects residents with meaningful opportunities to serve their community. As our Volunteer Services Coordinator, you’ll work across City departments and with community partners to turn organizational needs into well-designed volunteer opportunities that make a measurable difference.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys building programs, bringing people together, creating partnerships, and seeing ideas turn into action.

What You’ll Do

In this role, you will:

• Develop, coordinate, and administer the City’s volunteer services program.
• Partner with City departments to identify needs and create meaningful, well-structured volunteer opportunities.
• Recruit, screen, onboard, train, place, support, and recognize volunteers.
• Develop consistent volunteer practices, resources, policies, and procedures across the organization.
• Coordinate volunteer requirements such as waivers, background screening, confidentiality acknowledgements, safety training, and documentation in partnership with Human Resources and Risk Management.
• Build relationships with schools, colleges, nonprofit organizations, civic groups, community organizations, and residents.
• Coordinate citywide volunteer initiatives, service projects, recognition programs, and community engagement activities.
• Promote volunteer opportunities through community outreach, digital platforms, social media, and other communication channels.
• Maintain volunteer tracking systems and measure volunteer participation, hours, outcomes, and community impact.
• Prepare reports, recommendations, and program impact summaries for City leadership and other stakeholders.
• Serve as the City’s primary point of contact for volunteer services and help create a welcoming, positive experience for volunteers and community partners.

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate is a strong relationship builder who can take initiative, develop programs from the ground up, and comfortably work with a wide variety of people. You should be equally comfortable coordinating behind the scenes, speaking with community groups, collaborating with City departments, and jumping in to help make an event or volunteer project successful.

Successful candidates will bring strong skills in:

• Volunteer recruitment and coordination
• Community engagement and relationship building
• Program development and administration
• Project and event coordination
• Public speaking and outreach
• Written and verbal communication
• Organization and managing competing priorities
• Data tracking, reporting, and program evaluation
• Marketing, social media, and promotional communications
• Independent problem-solving and follow-through

Minimum Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent (G.E.D.) required.
• Minimum of two (2) years of experience in volunteer program coordination, community engagement, nonprofit administration, public outreach, program management, or a related area; or an equivalent combination of education and experience sufficient to successfully perform the duties of the position.

Preferred Qualifications

• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Public Administration, Communications, Community Development, Nonprofit Management, Business Administration, Marketing, or a closely related field.
• Previous public-sector experience.
• Valid Wyoming Driver’s License.

Why This Position Matters

Volunteers can expand the reach of City programs, strengthen connections between residents and local government, and create new opportunities for people to contribute to the community they call home. The Volunteer Services Coordinator will have the opportunity to shape the City of Casper’s volunteer program from the ground up and create a coordinated approach that supports City departments while making volunteering accessible, rewarding, and meaningful.

If you’re energized by connecting people with purpose and want to help build a stronger, more engaged Casper, we encourage you to apply.
