Ever wonder what CVA stands for? It's a credential that indicates a person is Certified in Volunteer Administration. It is a unique, international, competency-based program that recognizes practitioners with at least 3 years of experience in the field of volunteer resources management. Originally developed by the Association for Volunteer Administration (AVA) several decades ago, the program is intended for individuals who lead and direct volunteer engagement in all types of organizations and settings.
Registration to apply as a candidate is now open and will remain open until March 1, 2012. If you register by December 31st, you can save money with the early bird discount! Obtaining your credentials is a year-long process that involves studying various volunteer management resources, taking an exam and submitting a portfolio. The process involves taking an exam in May 1012 and then submitting a written portfolio no later than December 2012. This is a self-study process, requiring no travel or special classes.
