Are you the kind of person who thrives on engaging the community and keeping all the moving pieces in order - while never losing sight of the people you're serving? Horizons is looking for a highly motivated, community-focused Volunteer Coordinator to lead and grow our volunteer program in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

This isn't just a coordination role - it's a chance to directly impact lives. You'll be the engine behind our Meals on Wheels program, ensuring volunteers are recruited, trained, and deployed with precision so that every client receives the meals and human connection they depend on.

What You'll Own:

  • Recruit, train, and supervise a dedicated volunteer base
  • Match volunteers to the right roles with purpose and efficiency
  • Oversee timely, accurate meal deliveries to Meals on Wheels clients
  • Spot operational inefficiencies and implement smarter solutions
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with staff to deliver exceptional service

You're the Perfect Fit If You:

  • Are obsessively organized and able to juggle multiple priorities without dropping the ball
  • Enjoy being in the community and engaging with businesses and groups to recruit volunteers
  • Lead with a customer-first mindset in every interaction
  • Communicate with clarity, warmth, and professionalism - written and verbal
  • Are tech-savvy with volunteer management or logistics tools
  • Hold an Associate's degree + 1–3 years of relevant experience (community collaboration or development experience considered)

What's in It for You: Medical, Dental, Vision, 401(k), Life Insurance, FSA, Paid Time Off & more - plus the satisfaction of doing work that genuinely matters.

For 65 years, Horizons has been improving lives across Eastern Iowa through Transportation, Financial Wellness, and Meals on Wheels. Join a team that leads with integrity, compassion, and inclusivity.
