Activating the Serve Virginia Campaign for Your Organization

This work is for you. A campaign has no meaning without purpose and partners. We’ve aligned our resources and reimagined who we are to empower you to create locally-driven strategies. The visuals and information shared below stem from the rigorous and intentional Virginia Community Engagement Index (VCEI) findings. These findings powered an approachable illustration style for our volunteer pathways quiz, easy-to-use social templates, and helpful calls-to-action.

Please use, share, and continue to give us feedback. We exist to amplify the great work of Virginia’s nonprofit organizations.
