VCM Celebrates Our 20th Anniversary
 In an effort to continue celebrating our 20th Anniversary, VCM will feature quotes from past and present leaders who have reflected on the work we have accomplished over the years and provide the vision for our future.
"Volunteer Centers mobilize people to use their time, talent, voice and money to develop creative solutions to community problems. By serving as leaders in volunteer recruitment, project management, nonprofit capacity building and overall community problem solving, Volunteer Centers have become the central agents for creating change within their communities."
-Amy Smith, President, HandsOn Network
National Days of Service- MLK Day 2012
Congratulations on a successful MLK Day 2012!
Around the state: A preliminary survey done by the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) shows that there were more than 3,000 volunteers who performed nearly 8,000 hours of service as part of MLK Day projects! Although all reports and data are not in yet, VCM knows at least 50 Michigan projects were registered with www.mlkday.gov, several of which were sponsored by organizations in the VCM network. Thank you to everyone who helped make MLK Day 2012 such a success!
