Washtenaw Association of Volunteer Coordinators

WAVC stands for Washtenaw Association of Volunteer Coordinators. We’re a group who share our work, interest, and passion for leading volunteers.

Volunteers are a special group of people who invest their time to improve their communities. Whether they’re caring for a local park or teaching a neighbor to read, they are doing important work. But to make sure they have the tools they need for those tasks, we need volunteer coordinators.

Goals
The goal of WAVC is to create a network for volunteer coordinators through Washtenaw County. This network is to be a source of support, ideas, and knowledge sharing. This group is not just Washtenaw County based, any volunteer coordinator is welcomed.

How we’re led

WAVC is led by a pair of co-chairs who develop goals and programming from year to year.
