Emcee for Corporate Volunteer Experiences

This is a Freelance Job

The Role
----
We're looking for engaging Emcee/Event Hosts to lead corporate volunteering experiences end-to-end - from setup to facilitation to wrap-up - so volunteers leave energized and nonprofits feel truly supported. You'll join a global community of 2,000+ hosts and represent Goodera on the ground with warmth, confidence, and high attention to detail.

This role requires someone who thrives in front of people, thinks quickly on their feet, and genuinely loves creating memorable experiences and is passionate about the well being of our communities.

Time Commitment: This is a flexible, freelance position with events ranging from 2-4 hours.

What You'll Do
------
Host and facilitate corporate volunteering events (virtual or in-person), keeping energy high and instructions crystal clear
Run the event flow: opening, agenda, transitions, timekeeping, engagement moments, closing, and next steps
Manage setup and logistics: materials check, room/Zoom readiness, volunteer instructions, and contingency planning
Create a standout volunteer experience: make people feel welcome, included, and confident in what they're doing
Capture and share impact moments: photos/videos, volunteer quotes, attendance notes, and short highlights for recap
Connect with nonprofit partners to ensure alignment on goals, beneficiary context, and post-event follow-through
Troubleshoot in real time: adapt quickly when plans shift, and keep the group calm and moving
