Volunteer Program Management Structure
The Pinellas County Volunteer Program is under the jurisdiction of the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners. Overall direction of the program is under the Human Resources department. Day-to-day management is the responsibility of Volunteer Services. Volunteer Services is responsible for countywide administrative management of the program.

Department directors and managers are responsible for appointing staff members to serve as volunteer site coordinators. Departments with large numbers of volunteers may have assistant volunteer site coordinators for separate divisions. Direction of actual volunteer activities is the responsibility of staff members designated as volunteer supervisors. Departments will provide the names of designated volunteer site coordinators to the volunteer services manager. All such designated individuals are required to complete volunteer site coordinator training and orientation given by the Volunteer Services Department.

Volunteer Program Mission Statement
The mission of the Volunteer Service Program is to promote, recruit and place citizen volunteers in their county government and facilitate the involvement of Pinellas County government employees in community events and projects.
