WHO WE ARE
The Montgomery County Volunteer Center, within the Office of Community Partnerships, mobilizes people and resources to deliver creative solutions to community challenges. We connect volunteers, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and government agencies to strengthen communities through service and civic engagement. The Volunteer Center serves as Montgomery County's primary resource for volunteerism, helping residents find meaningful ways to contribute while supporting organizations that rely on volunteers to achieve their missions.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
The Montgomery County Volunteer Center is seeking an experienced and dedicated professional to serve as the AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP Program Manager. This position provides leadership and oversight of the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), a federally supported initiative that engages adults aged 55 and older in meaningful volunteer opportunities addressing critical community needs.
Working closely with the Volunteer Center Manager, the selected candidate will oversee the day-to-day operations of the RSVP program, strengthen partnerships with nonprofit organizations and community agencies, and develop strategies to recruit, engage, and retain older adult volunteers. The Program Manager will also manage program planning, performance measurement, reporting, and initiatives that leverage the skills, experience, and talents of older adults to make a difference in Montgomery County.
In this role, you will:
- Manage grant applications, reporting, and compliance with county and federal grant requirements.
- Manage RSVP content and programs to effectively promote national service.
- Design and implement program outreach activities to attract and engage senior volunteers.
- Manage Volunteer Center programs including AmeriCorps RSVP volunteer stations, Tax-Aide, Bone Builders, and the 50+ Volunteer Network.
- Oversee expenditures related to program operation and provide detailed budgets for any large events.
- Partner with Age Friendly Montgomery to support efforts to address older adult issues in volunteering, access to technology, lifelong learning, and intergenerational opportunities.
- Support large volunteer events and days/weeks of service such as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, National Days/Weeks of Service, and the Montgomery Serves Awards.
- Work with Volunteer Center colleagues to coordinate the Neal Potter Path of Achievement Award process through a partnership with the Commission on Aging.
- Attend AmeriCorps Senior-specific training, webinars, and conferences.
This individual may also provide leadership for additional Volunteer Center programs and special projects as organizational needs evolve. This position requires the ability to work evenings and weekends as needed by the program.
The selected candidate will be required to successfully complete a pre-employment background check and a medical history review.
Experience: Three (3) years of professional-level experience in volunteer program management, community outreach and engagement, nonprofit or public program administration, grant management, partnership development, or a closely related private sector field.
Education: Graduation from an accredited college or university with a bachelor's degree.
Equivalency: An equivalent combination of education and experience may be substituted.

- Experience administering grants, including preparing grant applications, monitoring compliance requirements, preparing reports, or tracking program performance.
- Experience managing or coordinating volunteer programs, community service initiatives, or programs that engage older adults.
