Who is Involved:

Volunteers are engaged in all areas of today's society, so our members are a diverse group. They represent hospitals, schools, social service agencies, cultural, recreation and health promotion organizations, government and other non-profit organizations.

The purpose of MAVA is to unite individuals involved in the administration of volunteer services and programs in a professional association that:

  • promotes volunteer administration as a profession
  • provides opportunities for the exchange of knowledge and experience in the administration of volunteer services and programs
  • promotes professional standards, education, growth and development
