Career Development
ICVA 2005

Many of us fall into this type of leadership role by accident, or because our supervisor "annoints" us.  For some, it is a stepping stone on their way to another career.  But for many of us, it ignites our passion and becomes a long-term profession and vocation.  If you have decided that volunteer resources management is your career, this section will be invaluable.

  • A job bank of current opportunities in the field, plus links to additional sites
  • Sample position descriptions of those who manage volunteer resources in a variety of settings, plus a few related articles.
  • The most current salary statistics for volunteer services managers within the United States, as well as articles related to compensation issues and AVA's response.
  • Complete details about AVA's unique credentialing program � a competency-based process through which you can earn the CVA (Certified in Volunteer Administration) designation.
  • An overview of this profession � who is involved, where they work, what they do.
  • Professional advocacy tools and strategies developed by AVA.
