JOIN CVSA
Across the United States and the world there are thousands of nongovernmental organizations striving to meet the needs of their communities and build systemic approaches to caring for people and the planet that are more just and effective than current official practice. These organizations are built by people daring to tackle serious problems such as access to health care for all, education, legal justice, food, water, jobs at living wages, care for the elderly, affordable housing, disaster relief, environmental protection and more. Some also focus on organizing access to cultural opportunities and sports. Many build avenues for fellowship and solidarity breaking isolation and discrimination, building the collective voices of those who otherwise have none. Others work to reverse the destruction of our environment and the root causes of poverty.
This is the VOLUNTARY SERVICE and ACTION MOVEMENT — working and organizing to build a better world.
As scourges of poverty, disease and inequality continue to grow in the United States, as in other parts of the world, we have seen control of the world’s resources concentrated into fewer and fewer hands, budgets for social services drastically cut and incomes for the majority of working people decline.
This means, more than ever, organizations and individuals doing the serious work of serving people in need and building systemic solutions to these problems, and reverse these trends, must have the ways and means to work together, learn from each other and own methods for effective involvement for more volunteers to strengthen the voluntary service and action movement.
