Take the next step in your career as a leader of volunteers and become certified in Volunteer Administration (CVA). Certified in Volunteer Administration (CVA) is an international professional certification in the field of volunteer resources management
Leaders in non-profit organizations and community groups increasingly understand that volunteers can be a critical resource for delivering a mission. Effective people management and community engagement is imperative – whether they be paid or unpaid.
As a result, employers expect that those individuals tasked with mobilizing and coordinating volunteer engagement demonstrate a thorough knowledge of effective practices and an understanding of how to apply that knowledge in support of real-world organizational priorities.
In this session, you will learn about the CVA, why certification may be right for you, how the exam is created, what the application, preparation, and certification process is, and when you can take it.
