They focus on building the systems necessary for organizations to increase capacity through recruitment, recognizing volunteers, building tracking systems, creating relationships with local organizations and businesses, and more.
Engaging the Next Generation of Leaders
VIP Fellows receive training in volunteer management, recruitment, and recognition in addition to professional development in topics such as networking, nonprofit management, employment, and career readiness, etc. AmeriCorps inspires members to live a life of community involvement beyond their service.
