1) Specific volunteer positions for SotG Global

SOCIAL MEDIA COORDINATORS 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 for each major SM channel 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)

 

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 (CULTURE) 

Time Commitment – 3-5 hours per week – Volunteer Engagement and validation

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)

    Here is a link to the full Regional Council Handbook

     

3) National Boards (National Coordinator Positions)

Time Commitment – 6-10 hours per month approximately

Role – 

Each National Board 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:

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 

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.
