Metro Area Volunteers in Schools (MAVIS)  

Metro Area Volunteers in Schools (MAVIS) is a professional network of individuals who work with volunteer management in schools, both public and private. Our purpose is to provide an opportunity for those professionals to meet, share ideas and network. MAVIS meets most months during the school year from 9:00am – 10:30am at the Eisenhower Community Center, 1011 Highway 7, Hopkins, MN 55305.

Format for MAVIS meetings is somewhat informal. Topics for discussion are decided at the October meeting. Members of MAVA provide the leadership for the meetings. Veteran members may choose to present on a current volunteer management topic while those newer to the field may choose to lead a discussion on a recently published article (e.g., Energize). An assigned facilitator leads the group discussion or presentation from 9:00am – 10:00 am followed by informal networking until 10:30am.
