Internships and Volunteer Positions

Disaster Response Volunteer
Volunteer San Diego plays a crucial role in recruiting and managing the volunteers who come forward to help when a disaster strikes. We need highly motivated, articulate and computer savvy volunteers to help us manage the hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of emails and phone calls we receive in our facility during such times.  Contact Patricia Davis, 858-636-4132, for more information or to sign up for an orientation and training class.

Flex Team Leaders
Team Leaders are essential to the success of Volunteer San Diego’s Flexible Volunteer Program. Without Team Leaders, Flex would not exist.  Orientation Leaders lead Flex Orientations for new volunteers at a variety of sites throughout the County.

Office Volunteer
Here's your chance to gain experience in the day-to-day running of a nonprofit volunteer organization! This is a great opportunity to promote volunteerism across San Diego County, work with a fun crew of dedicated people and learn a lot.  Assist our enthusiastic staff with various office projects: data entry, document assembly, special events, marketing & publicity, and more. Some projects can be completed from home.

Site Captains
Here's your chance to develop yourself as a leader! Site Captains will be placed at each Serve-a-thon project, work in small groups and serve as VSD representatives and liaisons with the community organization staff. As a Site Captain, you will help plan and manage the project. Other responsibilities include coordinating projects, verifying supplies, managing volunteer teams and solving minor problems as they arise. Site Captains are truly the backbone of this event; we couldn't do this without you!

Volunteer Referral Specialists
Volunteer Referral Specialist will have the opportunity to match interested volunteers with potential volunteer opportunities within our network of over 700 community organizations. The Volunteer Referral Specialist will collect information from interested volunteers, search our database for possible volunteer opportunities according to the volunteer's interest, and provide information on getting started as a volunteer! This is a great way to become familiar with the nonprofit scene in San Diego county and to connect community members with volunteer opportunities!
