AL!VE is proud to celebrate International Volunteer Managers Day (IVMDay).


As members of AL!VE, supporting other volunteer managers is the reason we exist!

That's why, this IVMDay, we take a moment to recognize and celebrate the remarkable individuals who have dedicated their lives to empowering volunteers and advancing volunteerism. Thanks to your dedication, our field Thrives With AL!VE!

We are proud to be supported by a dedicated membership network of over 1,000 volunteer managers. Help us celebrate our members, our profession, and our impact on society with the following resources.

Bold thanks to AL!VE's IVMDay Committee Members for organizing our association's participation in this year's celebration (in alphabetical order by first name):
