How to Apply for Community Coordinator

at HEAL Palestine

🏢 About HEAL Palestine

HEAL Palestine is a newly founded nonprofit (2024) with a focused mission to support children in Gaza through a holistic HEAL framework. Working here offers a chance to be part of a startup-like environment where your contributions directly impact vulnerable communities, with the flexibility of remote work.

About This Role

As a Community Coordinator, you'll be the bridge between HEAL Palestine and its volunteer base, recruiting and supporting 'HEALing communities' across the US. Your work will directly enable the organization's growth and fundraising efforts, making you a key player in expanding its reach.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start by reviewing volunteer applications and scheduling interviews via Calendly. Midday, you'll hop on a Zoom call with a new HEALing community leader to discuss their launch plan, then spend the afternoon sending check-in emails to existing volunteers and drafting a social media post to recruit for an upcoming fundraiser. You'll wrap up by updating a spreadsheet tracking volunteer hours and community milestones.
