Volunteer West Virginia, the lead agency for volunteerism and National Service in West Virginia, administers $8 million in federal, state, and
local funding for National Service and volunteer programs across the state each year. The Commission is
guided by a bipartisan board of Commissioners, who are appointed by the
Governor of West Virginia.
- We believe in the power
of people to make their communities better. Volunteer West Virginia
oversees National Service programs like AmeriCorps, which tackles some of
West Virginia's toughest problems. AmeriCorps members can be
found throughout the state mentoring youth, eliminating food deserts,
helping homeless Veterans, preserving historic properties, and more. Volunteer West Virginia grantees include
nonprofits, schools, faith-based organizations, and other community
organizations.
- We believe
voluntary service is a powerful tool for community change.
- We believe that by working together we get more done and the solutions are better.
- We believe in giving taxpayers their money's worth.
- We believe in taking care of ourselves and each other.
