Question about contacts for activities

There is one organization I volunteer with that has different service initiatives/programs (think things like tutoring, food pantry, clinic, soup kitchen, and other things I can't remember).

I volunteer in two different things so I was wondering if I had different contacts for the activities if it would look strange? Even though its the same organization.

Something like this for 2 different activities...
1) X organization, tutoring. contact: Mr. Smith
2) X organization, food pantry. contact: Mr. Brown

there actually are different coordinators for the different programs/initiatives. But I don't know if it would look odd since it's all under the same one organization.

It won't look strange to list more than one contact for an activity. Put the first in the header of the space, and the second in the narrative box. This is the same thing that's typically done if one shadows more than one doc.

Actually I was planning on listing them as two separate activities (out of a total of about 10). I was more concerned that it would look weird that these two different activities which fall under the same organization have two different contacts.

I want to list them separately because I have a lot to say about each activity and I believe they deserve their own narrative box. So tutoring would have their own contact and food pantry would have a diff contact and the org name would be the same for both.

Would this be ok?

Please let me know if you think it would be preferable to combine both of these activities! Thank you!

As they are each strong enough to stand alone, you can certainly use two spaces without it looking "weird".

Thank you and just to clarify, it wouldn't look strange either if both these activities had different contacts (again same org, different initiatives (tutoring/food pantry) thus different contacts), right?

What do I refer to them as? Volunteer director? Volunteer coordinator?

Even though both activities are under the same organization, it'd be fine to have these two activities listed as separate activities with different contacts. As far as the Volunteer Director vs. Coordinator goes, it's your call. Use whatever their official role/title is.

Having 2 different contacts is fine.

You've gotta remember they're reading hoards of these things and really don't care about the minutia.

I did this when I had to split hospital volunteering with hospital shadowing.
