  • Assist with initial hosting inquiries and follow-up with prospective host families.
  • Assist prospective host families throughout the application and training process.
  • Support with management and filing of host family reports. Lead families to complete reports.
  • Coordinate with a team of volunteers to assist with outreach, events, advocacy, and fundraising.
  • Research outreach meetings and events with local companies and organizations to recruit hosts and adoptive families for program participation.

They must have the ability to multi-task and perform work in a fast-paced team environment, intermediate to advanced computer skills (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Adobe Acrobat/Illustrator, Canva, Prezi), strong written and verbal communication skills, stellar organizational skills, and an interest in Kidsave’s mission.
