About the opportunity
As a NeighborNav Volunteer Champion, you'll visit volunteer pickup sites across Central Texas, answer questions, demonstrate the app in action, and serve as a trusted go-to resource in the field. You don't need to be a tech expert -- you just need to be patient, approachable, and comfortable with smartphones and mobile apps.

No formal tech certification required
Time commitment
Flexible schedule coordinated with staff during volunteer pickup hours at select sites

Ideal commitment of 3-6 months to build familiarity with NeighborNav and support platform adoption
Focus may be on 1 site or multiple sites depending on need; continued service possible beyond initial commitment
Location
Hybrid role. In-person at volunteer pickup sites, community hubs, or scheduled trainings. Remote for reviewing training materials and coordinating with staff. Occasional office or team meeting visits may be requested.
