Volunteer with MAVA!


Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to make an impact in the field of volunteerism and not-for-profit advocacy? 

Hear from Rissa, a MAVA volunteer and their time with us.


" Volunteering with MAVA has helped open new doors for me. From connecting more with my community, to interacting and creating beautiful moments with new people, and to improve things that I am seeking within my own career path. Without the guidance of my leaders within MAVA or the community I wouldn't be where I am at this moment. Can't wait to see more out of MAVA in the future!"
