# Volunteer Manager

Volunteer managers work across the non-profit sector to recruit, train, motivate and supervise volunteers. They are in charge of designing volunteer assignments, recruiting volunteers, reviewing the tasks undertaken and impact made, providing feedback and managing their overall performance against the objectives of the organisation. Volunteer coordinators might also manage online volunteering activities, sometimes known as cyber-volunteering or e-volunteering.
