Description
Are you passionate about addressing social justice and sustainability? If so, our service-minded AmeriCorps team needs your help!
Climate change is here, increasing the size and frequency of natural disasters and displacing over 15 million people each year. Hurricanes like Ida, Harvey, Maria, and Katrina disproportionately affect under-resourced communities, whose road to recovery often takes years. SBP is dedicated to shrinking the time between disaster and recovery, work that includes helping individual homeowners and communities rebuild after a disaster.
Help Coastal North Carolina recover from Hurricanes Matthew and Florence by serving with AmeriCorps! SBP, a social impact organization focused on disaster resilience and recovery, is hiring two AmeriCorps members to serve with Coastal Carolina Disaster Resiliency Agency (CCDRA). CCDRA is a long term recovery group (LTRG) formed in 2017 after Hurricane Matthew. CCDRA’s vision is to continue assisting those still affected by Hurricanes Matthew and Florence with long-term recovery and unmet needs assistance and to be an ongoing resource for all future disasters.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
-Conduct outreach activities with the goal of recruiting more volunteers.
-Respond to volunteer requests, questions, or general inquiries via email and phone in a timely fashion, maintaining an energetic and positive attitude.
-Coordinate logistics for multiple volunteer groups and serve as the point of contact for current, previous, and future volunteers and groups.
-Accurately document and track all volunteer records, including contributions, feedback, communication, and trip logistics, with strong attention to detail through the use of software such as Google Sheets, Salesforce, and Formstack.
-Deliver compelling volunteer orientations that articulate the enduring needs of our clients.
-Participate in outreach and planning for volunteer special events that support the goals of the AmeriCorps project.
-Support fundraising efforts that meet the goals of the AmeriCorps project. (This will account for less than 10% of a member’s total hours.)
-Identify and support prospective clients, working with them to complete an application for assistance either in person, via phone, or video platforms such as FaceTime or Zoom.
-As assigned, assist clients with their application in person, via phone, or video platforms such as FaceTime or Zoom.
Prepare and present prospective client cases to site leadership for funding and construction.

-Refer clients who are in need of housing, food, or other supports to appropriate service providers.
-Input client data and upload documents into Salesforce and update case notes daily.
