Volunteer

Get Involved

We have opened our Jersey Gay Pride Royal Court for volunteer opportunities to people who are hard-working, community oriented, dependable, and dedicated to uplifting and educating our South Jersey communities.   


Below are our current volunteer opportunities available:

CURRENT VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

The Royal Court

The Royal Court is a volunteer-run program that was established to raise money for worthy charities focusing on LGBTQ+ issues. The Royal Court is comprised of entertainers such as drag kings/queens, comedians, radio personalities, singers, rappers, dancers, and more.


Royal Court members are also role models to the LGBTQ+ community at large, especially our youth.  


We provide a safe and fun environment for entertainers to express themselves through dressing and performing as self-defined royalty.


Our Royal Court is now open for application. Anyone who is interested in becoming a member should email with subject line "Royal Court" and our coordinator will contact you with further instruction. We are looking for persons who are community oriented, volunteering, hard-working and dedicated.

VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR

Jersey Gay Pride is a 100% volunteer run organization. It takes a leader to make any worthwhile volunteer project happen- that's where a volunteer coordinator comes in.


Description

Volunteer coordinators are put in place to ensure that the interests of volunteers are served and that the volunteer organization remains well staffed. They may coordinate and schedule volunteers on an ongoing basis or organize single events. Volunteer coordinators must also keep existing volunteers informed via newsletters or other communications.


Volunteer coordinators often work to actively recruit volunteers for their organization. They may reach out to established volunteers or seek new help using various marketing tools, including volunteer databases, e-mail letters, and outreach events. Individuals interested in pursuing a career in volunteer coordination must be detail-oriented and organized, since they may work on many projects at once. 


They must also be outgoing and communicate effectively with a variety of people. Because they often work for mission-driven nonprofit organizations, volunteer coordinators must also adhere to the values of their organization and convey its purpose to others.


Expectations and Responsibilities 


  • Facilitate and monitor volunteer arrival day on Sundays
  • Transport volunteers who require  pickup to their volunteer sites and meetings
  • Facilitate volunteer orientation day

  • Meet with the volunteers in-person for an informal check-in of how they are doing
  • Communicate with volunteers about disability accommodations

  • Keep your phone on in case the volunteers have any questions, concerns or emergencies
  • Have a basic understanding of the organizations the volunteers are working with
  • Work with our community partners to ensure this is a beneficial relationship between them and the volunteer, they are happy with the program, and they feel supported
  • Work with our accommodation partner to ensure the volunteers are comfortable
  • Communicate regularly with supervisor/main contact to update them on the status of the volunteer(s) and the community partner(s)
  • If for some reason the goal of the position is compromised and the volunteer is unhappy, engage in the necessary steps to rectify the situation
  • Complete post steps after the volunteer(s) departure
  • Be flexible around necessary steps taken to improve the programming, and increase registration/project popularity
