supervising volunteer service programs to provide assistance to the

interpret these programs to the community; act as hospital department 
heads, and in addition maintain liaison relationships with other medical 
center units in order to determine needs which can be supplied by 
volunteer workers; are alert to changing needs in the use of volunteers 
and to new areas where volunteer assistance can meet special requests of 
patients and staff for improvement of the total program of education, 
treatment, and research; plan and conduct recruitment and broad 
information activities designed to interest community residents in 
providing services or financial support, and inform them of advancements 
in medical careers; plan special tours for students, arrange summer 
placements in research laboratories for promising students, and evaluate 
effectiveness of such programs; interview volunteers, administer 
appropriate orientation and training programs, and assign volunteers on 
the basis of current program needs and skills and interests of 
volunteers; arrange and/or conduct tours for distinguished visitors to 
show them programs and activities of particular interest; attend and 
participate in all auxiliary board and committee meetings; make 
recommendations on policy, and advise members on policy and procedures; 
serve in community organizations relating to volunteer services; appear 
on panels and present lectures on volunteer services to local, state, 
and national organizations; compile work schedules and set up record 
systems for the office; prepare reports; and evaluate effectiveness of

administrative and/or management responsibility.  The Coordinator of 
Volunteer Services I is the first management level and Coordinator II is
