Serving Opportunities:
The primary function of this volunteer role would be to schedule in advance regular (approximately once per month) opportunities for Liquid volunteers to serve at the partner organization. Ideally the opportunity would be able to accommodate a Life Group (approximately 10 people).

- Administration – Schedule volunteering opportunities, record attendance and manage a small budget provided by Liquid.
- Volunteer – Attend and serve alongside Liquid volunteers at lease once per quarter to gain first-hand knowledge and experience of serving at partner organization.
- Outreaches – Potentially provide opportunities to serve as a part of church-wide outreaches.
- Continuous Improvement – Utilize volunteer feedback and first-hand serving experience to continually improve the experience of Liquid volunteers at our partner organization.
- Attitude of Gratitude – Thank each of the volunteers personally for serving our community.
- Pray – For volunteers, their serving experience, how God would use and change them.
Liquid Liaison:
Foster an environment where both organizations are profiting from the relationship. This would include meeting with the organization at least once per year to conduct an annual review on both sides of the relationship.
- Annual Review – At least once per year meeting with our partner organization contact to evaluate the amount and quality of the serving opportunities, the benefit of Liquid volunteers to our partner organization and the value of the serving opportunity to Liquid volunteers.
- Annual Summary – In conjunction with the Annual Review, provide an executive summary of the volunteering experience, number of volunteers engaged (man-hours) as well as any improvements or changes that were made to the volunteer experience over the year. This would also be a welcome opportunity to provide feedback and recommendations to the Outreach Coordinator to continually improve Liquid’s Outreach partners, strategy and organization.

Summary:
The Liquid Volunteer Outreach Coordinator is a relational and detail oriented role that is responsible for building relationships with partner organizations and logistical management of volunteers. The VOC should be a strong leader with clearly recognized gifts in the following areas:
- Leadership – The VOC has leadership skills to work effectively with partner organizations as a delegate of Liquid as well as leading a different group of volunteers on a semi-regular basis. They must be able to create an engaging volunteer experience and bring to life Liquid’s vision to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
- Relational Ability - a person who represents Liquid well to peer organizations and can work well with staff & volun-teers of varying personality types.
- Detail Oriented – from scheduling volunteers and volunteer opportunities, this person must be able to keep details straight as well as communicate them effectively.
- Casting Vision – creating a experience where volunteers catch Liquid’s vision of being the hands and feet of Jesus in our communities, it’s more than just serving.
Other qualities deemed essential to success as a Outreach Coordinator include:
- Personal Character - needs to be a person with high level of integrity and personal character.
- “Can do” Attitude - willing to do “what it takes” to make our volunteering experiences go off without a hitch!
- Team Player - ability to work collaboratively with the Liquid Church staff i.e. our biggest fan outside of Liquid and our biggest critic within Liquid, specifically providing any feedback to the Service and Outreach Coordinator.
