The New Jersey Association for Volunteer Administration (NJAVA) envisions a state in which the lives of individuals and communities are improved by the positive impact of volunteer action.

There continues to be an increasing emphasis placed on the role of volunteers in American society. Volunteer resource managers face unique issues in coordinating the mission of their organizations with the needs of both staff and volunteers.

NJAVA approaches these issues by providing its members with a statewide network of professional and educational resources including a variety of workshops and meetings where professionals who work with volunteers can meet and share experiences. Our growing membership includes salaried and non-salaried professionals including volunteer resource managers, consultants, agency executives, trainers, researchers, human resource personnel, activity directors and volunteers.
