Welcome! DOVIA is short for Directors of Volunteers in Agencies. We are a membership-based group that is made up of nonprofit, community, faith-based and other volunteer program leaders. We encourage you to become part of our group if your work includes working with or leading volunteers anywhere in the southeastern Louisiana region.
We have bi-monthly meetings that are held at Ashe' Cultural Arts Center in New Orleans and periodic meetings on the Northshore in various locations.
Upcoming meetings and locations are:
May 23rd - VOLUNTOURISTS! Challenges and Celebrations. The meeting will be at noon at Ashe' Cultural Arts Center in New Orleans.
Our meeting on May 17th was rescheduled and will be on May 31st in Mandeville at the Kickstand Cafe on Lafitte Street.
We accept members year-round and membership fees apply for 12 months from your date of joining. You can join online or at a meeting. We like to have everyone pre-register for meetings so that we have enough seating reserved and so that we can print up networking lists to give to attendees (lists all pre-registered attendees and their contact information).
Each meeting has a topic of interest for volunteer program leaders and time for Q&A. Members are surveyed regularly for topic input.
Members are able to share information on the DOVIA listserv and receive periodic newsletters. Training days are offered twice a year and are discounted for members.
DOVIA New Orleans is a registered 501(c)3 charitable organization and donations are tax deductible to the extent of the law.
