Serve Virginia aspires to build a culture of service and volunteerism in all corners of the Commonwealth by inspiring individuals and organizations to engage, connecting them with the resources they need to make a difference and celebrating the tremendous impacts we make together.
Our Purpose is to Convene, Connect and Mobilize.
We believe in the power of service and volunteerism to spark change, strengthen lives and produce lasting impacts for communities throughout Virginia. We act on this belief by collaboratively setting statewide priorities, serving as catalysts for our network of partners, cultivating a sustainable infrastructure for all to engage in service and volunteerism and developing resources for the Commonwealth.
Serve Virginia represents a more intentional partnership between the Virginia Service Commission, which operates within the Virginia Department of Social Services as the lead agency for volunteerism and service for the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the Virginia Service Foundation, an independent 501(c)3 organization.
In addition to overseeing the annual grant competition that awards funding to AmeriCorps State and other community service programs, Serve Virginia actively works to determine community needs, set policy and program priorities, provide training and assistance, support national days of service and actively recognize individuals and organizations for their contributions within their communities.
