Partners

The Volunteer Centers of Michigan’s story is one of partnering. All of our efforts are collaborative, because Michigan’s statewide public and nonprofit organizations have learned the immense importance of working together. Sharing values, resources, staff and even the risks of projects keeps us focused on our missions. When we work to achieve common goals, we strengthen volunteerism in strategic ways.

Our volunteer centers also are committed to sharing with each other. Those centers that have more experience mentor the newer ones. We see our mission as bringing volunteer center services to every county in our state, and we only can do that through statewide cooperation.
