Tipos de voluntarios

MVEF volunteers to make a difference for all of our students. Although MVEF raises funds that provide educational programs within local public schools, it does not directly administer those programs. For this reason, MVEF primarily uses volunteers to help with communication and outreach into the local school communities and neighborhoods so that more people understand what MVEF is and why it exists so that they are inspired to donate and spread the word about the impact of MVEF funding.
