NEW! About The Vollee Alliance Pilot Program:

The Vollee Alliance is designed for volunteer leaders to have a space to share best practices, brainstorm solutions and support each other in their work. Each team will be facilitated by a Captain, who will promote a safe environment for honest and open dialogue leading to meaningful networking, professional development, and the advocacy of our field.

Logistics: The Scholars will have the opportunity to choose meeting topics of interest, share their own experiences, ask questions relevant to their current work situations and glean insights from one another. The Alliance teams can meet virtually or physically and will meet on a regular basis, as determined by the members, called scholars. Alliance teams can be general in focus, can be regional or mission focused (ie., hunger issues, the arts, education). Each team can have between 5-10 scholars.
