Regional/State/Provincial Volunteer Management Associations

The good news for North Americans is that there are hundreds of regional, state, and provincial volunteer management associations; the bad news is, with so many options, it can be difficult to know where to start! Fortunately, our good friends at Energize, Inc. maintain a comprehensive database of regional, state, and provincial volunteer management networks. Check them out here.

Another great place to look for local, regional, and state networks in the U.S. is The Registry, maintained by the Association of Volunteer Resources Management (AVRM).

Not in North America? Energize, Inc. has their finger on the pulse in your area too…here's the link.
