National Volunteer Centres

IAVE supports the development of strong national and local volunteer centres throughout the world. It has researched and published the first directory of existing national volunteer centres. There is a position on the IAVE Board of Directors for a member from the NVC network.

IAVE's Strategic Plan 2007-2010 includes a commitment to improve the connection between IAVE and the network of National Volunteer Centres. Each IAVE World Volunteer Conference offers an opportunity for a network meeting of the NVCs.
