Moving the social impact sector forward with service and volunteerism

From the daily ways we help our friends and neighbors, to the time and talent we devote to community organizations, to how we use our voices to spread awareness and call attention to the causes we care about, every act makes a difference to meet the critical needs in our communities.

Virginia 2022-2024 State Service Plan

In 2022, Serve Virginia launched a sweeping new three-year vision for the service and volunteerism ecosystem in Virginia centered around building a stronger culture of service, volunteerism and civic engagement, building a more representative and aligned network of partners and building a more robust infrastructure of resources for our partners. 

We believe in the power of service and volunteerism to spark change, strengthen lives, and produce lasting impacts for communities throughout Virginia. This purpose drives the goal of the Virginia State Service Plan:

Inspire more Virginians from all parts of the Commonwealth to engage in service and volunteer experiences to combat disparities and meet our most pressing needs.

This goal will guide our work to advance three interrelated strategies:

  • Build a stronger culture of service, volunteerism, and civic engagement.
  • Build a more representative, integrated, and aligned network of partners.
  • Build a more robust resource and support infrastructure.

Roadmap for the Future

In 2022, Serve Virginia launched a sweeping new three-year vision for the service and volunteerism ecosystem in Virginia centered around building a stronger culture of service, volunteerism and civic engagement, building a more representative and aligned network of partners and building a more robust infrastructure of resources for our partners. Our Virginia Community Engagement Index, which was guided by nearly 40 partner organizations, advances all three strategies at once.
