Collaborations and Partnerships with MAVA MAVA was created with a philosophy of collaboration and building
on existing assets. Since then, MAVA has
sought to form alliances with organizations and existing networks of volunteer
administrators across Minnesota
to foster dialogue, ensure effective use of community assets, and reduce
duplication of effort. By partnering with MAVA we create a strong voice for
volunteerism in the state and enhance benefits to network members. Networks and
organizations have a choice of many ways to form an alliance with MAVA, ranging
from full membership to more informal, flexible affiliations. The following are some levels of alliance that
have emerged in our work since 2001.

2. MAVA AFFILIATED NETWORK
MAVA seeks to form formal alliances with all geographic and
sector networks or groups of leaders of volunteers. The geographic networks
give leaders of volunteers the opportunity to meet in their local area to share
ideas, learn from each other and hold programs. Sector networks give leaders of
volunteers working in the same field a chance to share information. Though affiliating with MAVA they connect on
a statewide level to be a statewide voice for volunteerism. How does a network of leaders of volunteers affiliate with MAVA? Would you like to start a network of leaders of volunteers in your area?
