Help steward the relationships that sustain this work
Outside Perspectives is seeking volunteer Partnership Coordinators to nurture and steward the community connections that make our programs possible.
Programs don’t sustain themselves. Relationships do.
Outside Perspectives partners with schools, youth service bureaus, and community organizations to create consistent, relationship-centered outdoor programs.
But programs don’t continue because of logistics alone.
They continue because communication is steady.
Expectations are clear.
Leadership feels supported.
Community relationships are nurtured.
The Partnership Coordinator role exists to help strengthen that connective tissue.
Who this is for
You might be a strong fit if you:
- Value relationship-building over spotlight work
- Are organized and follow through
- Communicate clearly and kindly
- Care about youth development and community belonging
- Believe prevention work requires consistency
This is ideal for someone who:
- Has professional experience in coordination, communication, or community engagement
- Is looking for meaningful volunteer leadership
- Wants to contribute beyond event-based volunteering
What You’ll Help Hold
Partnership Coordinators support the sustainability of our partnerships by:
- Serve as a point of contact for one OP partner
- Supporting communication between OP and community leaders
- Helping track timelines and seasonal planning
- Support partner recruitment, peer-to-peer fundraisers
- Ensuring continuity from season to season
Time commitment:
- Approximately 2 hours per week
- Schedule is flexible and remote-friendly
- Attending occasional virtual meetings
- Ongoing role (not one-time volunteering)
You’ll be part of the larger community.
As a Partnership Coordinator, you’ll receive:
- Invitation to OP’s Annual Celebration for our closest supporters
- Access to our Outdoor Gear Library (where available)
- Discounted enrollment in OP’s WFA training
- Access to Instructor Training opportunities
- Connection to a fun, supportive, and mission-driven community of adults (who also enjoy playing outside!)
- Invitation to join certain programs with your partner cohort and end-of-season celebrations to hear the impact directly from the youth
