City/State level Volunteer Positions

In addition to positions listed below we are now also recruiting City Coordinators and National Coordinators for

THE IMPACTFUL WOMEN’S NETWORK & 

THE IMPACTFUL BUSINESS NETWORK

SotG is rapidly spreading all over the world, in Q1 2022, we established Regional teams in almost every region of the world, as well as 40+ National teams, and we anticipate another 60 national level teams being established by the end of May. In general the National level teams will start with 1-9 Regional Directors of Operations(depending on the size of the country). The next step is to establish our “Local Pages” at either a City or State level. 

The 4 main initial positions for each of these local communities will be:

1)Volunteer Coordinator – Primarily using the City/State LinkedIn page to run ads, follow up with applicants, and then onboard new contributors

2)Community Organizer – Organizing first Discussion Events and Discussion Groups, then SotG Clubs

3)Social Media Coordinator – Promoting both local events as well as national level online events, global events, global initiatives, and Coaching offerings. Currently mostly top down and using LinkedIn, but SM coordinators are welcome to set up other channels and to develop their own content

4)Partnership Coordinator – Exploring collaborations with other linked minded organizations for events, initiatives or over time, applying for grants together

 

Each of those positions can be typically be handled with 2-3 hours a week, and it is totally fine to occupy multiple roles if you have time for both/all. 

Over time we will also be training:

City/State Coordinator – Onboards and oversees the other roles, filling in when other contributors need a break. This is a 5-10 hour per week role

 

We also are recruiting for National, Regional, and Global Council positions, descriptions can be found on our Leadership Chart page

You can also find other specific positions on the SotG Global team here

 

1) Specific volunteer positions for SotG Global

SOCIAL MEDIA COORDINATOR Time Commitment – 3-5 hours per week

Currently our Social Media is being handled by a combination of our blogmaster and our various Co-Chairs. We need a dedicated individual to make sure all of our most important announcements are going out in a timely manner, and that we have regular content for our primary SM channels; currently we are mostly focused on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram, but we would like to add Twitter and maybe TikTok soon.

ONLINE DISCUSSION EVENTS COORDINATOR Time Commitment – 3-5 hours per week

As winter in the northern hemisphere approaches, we will be ramping up our online offerings again, with a speaker series for female entrepreneurs planned, a role model for girls speaker series in the works, our 2nd Global Community Dialogue Day to plan, and a wide array of panel discussions possible, both for global and regional audiences. You will be responsible for maintaining our calendar of events, communicating with the relevant divisions for each event, as well as coordinating with speakers (and volunteers for the bigger events)

IN-PERSON DISCUSSION EVENTS COORDINATOR Time Commitment – 3-5 hours per week

We are also starting up our in person discussion events in various cities around the world and we need somebody to support our local coordinators, both in making sure they are comfortable hosting their first events, as well as making sure the feedback/ideas from their groups on whatever topic they were discussing is passed along to the proper Co-Chairs of our various divisions. 

ONLINE SOCIAL EVENTS COORDINATOR Time Commitment – 1-3 hours per week

The SotG team all around the world is rapidly growing and we need somebody to organize fun online events for our volunteers. These can include activities such as board game nights, happy hours, or even pure philosophical discussions, or you are welcome to make your own suggestions

 

Volunteer Coordinator (ongoing support) 

Time Commitment – 2-4 hours per week – Supporting our current volunteers in various ways

2) National Councils (National Coordinator Positions)

Time Commitment – 6-10 hours per month approximately

Role – 

Each National Council is responsible for designing and implementing a Strategic Plan customized for their country based on the following criteria:

  1. What are the biggest societal topics or issues in your country in which Personal Accountability(or any of our other core principles)is being neglected?
  2.  How is SotG uniquely positioned to influence that topic, either due to our philosophies, our methodology, or our netwoconrk/ability to build networks?
  3. What are the qualifications for our existing team or network in that country to be taken seriously on that societal topic?
 
In general National Strategic Plans will consist of the following elements:
  • Participation in initiatives/events from the World Spirit of the Game Foundation which are applicable to that country
  • Implementation of specific programs from SotG Global’s menu of options. Each program can typically be customized to fit the exact requirements of each county and the capacity of the SotG team in that country
  • Specific regional initiatives as decided upon by the Regional Council

The primary members of each National Council will be National Coordinators, each of whom will typically have a specific focus on one of the following:

A) NGO work & networking with/supporting other NGOs – SotGFoundation@gmail.com

B) SotG as a Social Movement                                                        – SotGFoundation@gmail.com

C) Impact Consulting/Coaching Coalition                                – Trent.Simmons@SpiritoftheGame.org

3) Regional Councils

Time Commitment – 3-5 hours per month approximately

Role –

  1. Help recruit National Coordinators for all/most of the countries in that region
  2. Liaison between SotG Global and those National Coordinators (In the beginning most of the Regional Council members will be National Coordinators, but over time we’ll need separate people in these roles because of point 4
  3.  Promote global online events and global initiatives
  4. Create a Strategic Plan for their region – Basically, not everything SotG Global will be working on will be applicable to every region, and each region of the world will have specific challenges and opportunities that it doesn’t make sense for the Global Council to focus on. So to some degree this will be picking and choosing from the global menu, but also coming up with new ideas and telling SotG Global how we can support you. 
     

    (National Coordinators will essentially do this same thing on a national level)

BUSINESS PARTNERS

We have a wide array of individuals and teams around the world who want to support SotG by building a business under our brand umbrella. In addition to helping grow our brand, these businesses are also expected to help financially support the foundation in the future, so with discretion, we help support their growth. A few examples are a credit union in Trinidad&Tobago, an Impact Investing consultancy in Switzerland, and a sports company in Turkey.

Our organization has 4 main Pillars and the Strategic Plan listed below explains our current plans for the US. Once we have sufficient leadership in Canada and Mexico, we’ll do the same process there.

1) Developing SotG as the world’s first “crowd-sourced” life philosophy which both provides individuals with an internal framework for choosing a different definition of winning and as a Social Movement which provides the external framework that helps like minded individuals and organizations around the world maximize their positive impact on society.  

2) An Impact Coaching division to help raise funds for the non-profit work, and which now has a wide range of offerings for universities, as well as for corporations, SMEs, and start-ups. 

3) Typical NGO work which includes applying for grants on Youth Leadership, Women’s Empowerment, and Entrepreneurial support, among others, as well as organizing national/global initiatives and supporting other NGOs

4) A national/global Impact Network of “disruptors of dysfunctional systems” that consists of individuals and organizations from the worlds of non-profit, social enterprise, for profit, academia and government.

Here is a full video overview of these 4 pillars as well as a deeper explanation of the long term goals of the organization/movement.

Here is our State/Provincial Coordinator Handbook. We will begin recruiting for those positions once the national and regional Boards of Directors are more solidified. In the meantime we have created the Ambassador role for people who want to support SotG but either don’t have the time yet for an official position or simply aren’t famliar enough yet with our whole ecosystem to know where they fit in.
