Believe In The Dream and Come Weave Dreams With Us!
Now accepting applications
We know there are many options to choose from to offer your time and service to the community. Thank you for choosing “I Have A Dream” Foundation of Boulder County! We believe effective and successful volunteer management and supervision is essentially about building relationships. It’s about supporting our volunteers, work study students, and interns with getting a handle on what they are supposed to be doing, communicating when they are doing well, and coaching them and providing direction when they need it. We appreciate our volunteers, community partners, work study students, and interns and are thankful for their commitment to supporting us with advancing our mission!
Although we appreciate the interest shown by each applicant, we cannot guarantee a position for everyone. In this case, your application will be kept active for six months should an opportunity arise that could potentially be a good fit with your experience, skills, and motivation. A team member will contact you if a position more suitable to your skills becomes available.
IHDF is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. Applicants are expected to explain and demonstrate their commitment to these values.
