Job Description:

REGIONAL FIELD SERVICE COORDINATOR (RFSC)

SOUTHEAST

 

This full time, exempt executive is responsible for growing Trail Life by developing volunteers. He must be an effective communicator and trainer—an equipper of others—finding satisfaction in working through their successes; an organized, driven self-starter; a builder, edifier, sales-oriented, developer of people—one who holds himself and others accountable. He will be Trail Life’s “face-to-face” coach for local Area volunteers, traveling and serving in coordination with the volunteer Regional Team Leader. Regular travel is required (mostly driving, with travel costs to be reimbursed; overnight stays may be required 3-4 or more times/month). He will work throughout the Southeast.

 

The RFSC will report to the National Director of Field Operations (Rob Green), and interact frequently with the National Field Support and Membership Manager (Carolyn Culbertson)—both are full-time National staff members.  Additionally, he will coordinate all activities, such as the duties listed below, with the Regional Team Leader (RTL)—the top volunteer in the southeastern US (Larry Wagner).

 

The RFSC will work cooperatively with Area volunteers, primarily Point Men. A Point Man recruits and oversees/coordinates a team of volunteers who support all facets of Trail Life operations related to Troops. The RTL will regularly review the RFSC’s activities to assure that he is successfully recruiting and supporting—but not doing the job of—hundreds of engaged and effective volunteers.

 

Job duties include:

 

  • Recruiting and empowering effective Area Sales and Customer Service support teams—volunteers known respectively, as New Troop Organizers and Direct Service Advisors
  • Mentoring/developing existing Point Men
  • Evaluating Point Men to determine and meet their individual needs to become more effective as multipliers and Area Chairmen
  • Assisting RTL in selecting, recruiting and training new Point Men
  • Assisting RTL in helping Point Men develop thriving volunteer Area Teams
  • Discussing, with the RTL (and Carolyn), the replacement of ineffective Point Men
  • Driving to new communities; conducting “Community Influence Surveys” (with Point Men), thereby connecting Point Men to newly-discovered Area Team Prospects
  • Training—by riding with and demonstrating methods for—New Troop Organizers in each Area
  • Working with State and County denominational organizations and associations to promote TLUSA
  • Getting feedback from field volunteers to develop better support materials (Home Office)

 

 

About Trail Life USA

Trail Life USA (TLUSA) is a Christian outdoor adventure program that emphasizes and teaches biblical moral values and requires all adult members to agree with, sign, and abide by the Trail Life USA Trinitarian Statement of Faith and the Statement of Values. The program is unapologetically Christian. However, the program is designed and intended to be presented without being “churchy” or “religious,” focusing on outdoor adventure, character, and leadership development. The analogy for this principle has been referred to as “carrot cake.” The carrots in the cake are not in big and obvious chunks, but are still present throughout the entire cake, as are the assumptions of a Christian worldview throughout the entire program. At the same time, the TLUSA program is not intended to replace or compete with other youth groups, Bible studies, or church programs, but rather to complement them and give youth an opportunity to exemplify and demonstrate Christian values in their relationships with others.
