Our goals are to:
Connect volunteer engagement professionals to their local networks, if any.
Develop a national network of volunteer engagement professionals through local associations.
Grow the number and quality of local associations across the United States.
Provide tools and resources for local associations to thrive and provide important local networking & professional development.
Several of the ways we will be doing this will be:
AL!VE will now hosts the only national listing of local associations ( You can search for your association listing here.
Producing a series of webinars specifically tailored for local associations, offered quarterly. See our calendar and look for Local Associations Communities of Practice (held the last Wednesday of each quarter)
Hosting a national online summit in 4th quarter of 2023 (November 2, 2023 - Registration opens in September).
Providing mentors to assist your local association in creating, renewing, or reviewing your local association
