Overview

The Virginia Conference on Volunteerism & Community Service is the largest and most comprehensive event of the year for individuals and organizations working to strengthen their communities through service. Each year, more than 500 participants attend from throughout the Commonwealth. Attendees represent nonprofit and faith-based organizations, public and private schools, colleges and universities, large and small businesses, and national service programs, including AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, AmeriCorps VISTA, and Learn and Serve America.

The theme for this year was "Faces of Service." Colleagues from across Virginia:

  • Exchanged information and developed new partnerships
  • Learned together and shared best practices
  • Strengthened our capacity and improved our sustainability
