Join your peers in volunteer engagement and MAVA’s Professional Development Committee, as we explore tensions that exist in volunteerism. For example, does the word "volunteer" exclude communities of color? What are the differences between an intern, a volunteer, and a paid staff-person? What are the benefits and risks of compensating volunteers?
And what do our constituents, collaborators, and community members think the word "volunteer" means? How do informal volunteers refer to themselves and talk about what they do?
Let's dig into the complexity! And in honor of the final MAVA Connections of 2023, let's reflect on where we've been and explore what may be ahead for 2024, for ourselves, our organizations, and our profession.
