Is your organization ready to take volunteer engagement to the next level? The Service Enterprise Initiative can help you get there. Application for the Summer 2018 cohort is now open.
Why participate in Service Enterprise? Here’s what motivated other Minnesota organizations:

This research-based assessment, training, consultation and certification program is offered through a partnership between MAVA and HandsOn Twin Cities as part of a national effort backed by Points of Light. The Service Enterprise Initiative (SEI) empowers organizations to increase their impact by: leveraging the skills of volunteers, blending staff and volunteer skills to meet program needs, creating a culture of volunteerism and engaging senior leadership.
