Description: Volunteer Centers of Iowa (VCI) is a statewide network of 15 Volunteer Centers serving 29 counties. VCI helps the Volunteer Centers in its network to better meet the needs of their communities and promote volunteerism through information exchange, collaboration and support. The VCI defines a Volunteer Center as a professional organization that maintains an online presence that facilitates engaging volunteers in meaningful opportunities to serve, heightens awareness of volunteering by recognizing community volunteers and builds the capacity for effective volunteering by providing learning opportunities in volunteer management. How to Help: Individuals are encouraged to use the list on the VCI website to connect with a volunteer center in their community. Iowans can also contact the Iowa Commission on Volunteer Service to learn more about starting a volunteer center in their community. Organizations that fit the definition of a volunteer center and are interested in joining the VCI network should contact VCI President Julie Neas by email or calling 641-784-5381.
