Explore management volunteer opportunities where organising people, activities, resources or day-to-day operations is a substantial part of the role.
Management roles can appear in NGOs, community organisations, social enterprises, hospitality projects, events and other initiatives. Responsibilities vary considerably, from coordinating a small programme to supporting operations, planning activities or supervising part of a project.
What is management? 🗂️
Management is the organisation and coordination of people, activities and resources in order to achieve defined objectives. It can involve planning, assigning responsibilities, monitoring progress, solving practical problems and helping a team or organisation operate effectively.
Management and project management
Management is a broad field. A role may involve operations, people, events, communications or another part of an organisation without making the participant a project manager. Opportunities specifically responsible for planning and coordinating a defined project can also appear in the Project manager archive.
Roles centred on staff recruitment, training, workplace policies or personnel support may instead be more accurately described under Human resources, while positions focused on organising volunteers or participants may fit the Coordinator section.

Check the publication date, current responsibilities, decision-making authority, required experience, weekly hours, supervision, minimum commitment, accommodation, meals and any salary, stipend or costs.

Management positions may be volunteering, funded placements, internships or paid work, so confirm the legal and financial arrangement rather than assuming that every listing follows the same model.
