Become a MAVA Member

Thank you for your interest in becoming a MAVA member. By joining MAVA, you and your organization will benefit from the resources and expertise of hundreds of volunteer administrators across the state of Minnesota and beyond.

"When I learned about MAVA, I signed up right away, and then the Volunteer Impact Leadership Training (VILT) was coming up in January. It's been a lifesaver. I just had this total paradigm shift, even in the concept that we can't just go get a bunch of volunteers, if we haven't assessed the capacity of our organization yet."

It's really been not only practically helpful with a number of things, but the VILT training has also helped me actually understand conceptually what I'm doing. Everything's been so helpful from MAVA."

-Leah Welch, Volunteer Program Director at Episcopal Homes

We offer unparalleled leadership, training, conferences, and networking opportunities. MAVA is the leading voice for volunteerism in Minnesota, working to increase awareness of our profession and resources for leaders of volunteers.

What is the difference between an individual and organizational membership?

The primary difference between Individual Memberships and Organizational Memberships is the number of people listed on the membership.

Organizational memberships have one individual as the primary member of the account and other people are listed as secondary members. Organizational memberships often allow organizations to register their staff together for paid events.

Do I have to be from Minnesota to be a member?

While MAVA is based in Saint Paul, MN. MAVA conducts research within the state of Minnesota and hosts most in-person events within the state, but we welcome members from all over!

We recognize that volunteer engagement must happen in a variety of contexts and cultures and MAVA events reflect diverse perspectives including regional ones.

National members have a quarterly opportunity to meet each other via virtual member meetups (and of course, any regular virtual MAVA offering).
