Coaches Committee

Committee members work together to take on leadership responsibilities within programs, run KEEN sessions, develop new programs, recruit new volunteers, plan special events, and manage other matters consistent with KEEN’s mission and the Board’s direction. 

• Commit 5 hours of time each month to KEEN San Francisco’s mission.
• Lead or co-lead a KEEN session approximately once per month for a minimum of 6 months. Our goal is to have at least one Coaches Committee member present at each session.
• ​Responsive and proactive communication (e.g., when you need to find another leader for a session to which you’ve committed).
• Bring ideas that enhance KEEN’s mission to the Board and/or KEEN staff members.
• Be a liaison for KEEN in the community. Spread the word about our program. Share on social media.
• When possible, attend and/or promote fundraising events to your networks.

• At minimum, monthly communications with updates specifically related to the Coaches Committee and at maximum, twice weekly emails from KEEN.
• ​Openness to your ideas that enhance KEEN’s mission to the Board and/or KEEN staff members, including any potential partnership opportunities you may be aware of related to program expansion, sponsorship, fundraising, etc.
• Flexibility and understanding of your schedule. While we want our Coaches Committee volunteers to be committed and attend our program on a regular basis, we understand that you are doing this as a volunteer. Please communicate your schedule clearly with the KEEN staff, if there is a period in your life where you are not able to commit as much time to the program, or if you need to take a break from the committee.
• Virtual or in-person meetings to connect as a team approximately every 2-3 months based on program needs. Team meetings are optional but we encourage you to attend if possible!
