Change a Foster Child's Life: Volunteer as a coordinator with Elysium. (FULLY REMOTE)

Save to Favorites

Elysium Sanctuary is an all-volunteer nonprofit that serves foster youth and their families in Oregon. Despite our relatively small size, we serve dozens of families every year! We are currently looking for additional board members and volunteers to help expand our services. Elysium volunteers typically work independently, but we do have occasional meetings via zoom to discuss goals, plan upcoming events, and celebrate our successes. Here are the ongoing volunteer roles that are currently available. All volunteer positions are flexible and can be done remotely.

Administrative Coordinator: This volunteer position performs administrative responsibilities for Elysium including: managing the email inbox, tracking and assigning support requests that we receive from foster families, keeping records and electronic files organized and submitting required non-profit forms to applicable organizations. This is a great position for someone who is organized and interested in gaining or applying experience in administrative work and/or non-profit management.

Fundraising Manager
This is a leadership position and previous work in fundraising, grant writing and/or non-profit management would be beneficial but is not required. This volunteer leads the fundraising team and assists in finding new avenues of funding through private donors, grants and community connections. Helps organize fundraising events.

Fundraising Coordinator/Grant Writer: This volunteer finds, writes and submits grants to applicable organizations, and communicates and assists the fundraising team with ongoing projects. Previous experience as a grant writer or in non-profit work would be beneficial but is not required.

Board Member: Board members fundraise for the organization and make decisions together about the overall direction (which programs to focus on each year, program and expenditure policies, etc).
