New York Association for Volunteer Administration’s 25th Year Anniversary:
Presidents’ Circle Fund for NYAVA Membership Scholarships

NYAVA reached out to former NYAVA Presidents for ideas on how we could celebrate NYAVA’s 25th Year Anniversary. Thanks to NYAVA’s third president, Sheri Wilensky Burke, NYAVA came up with an idea. The Presidents’ Circle asks for donations to commemorate “NYAVA’s 25th Year Anniversary” and create scholarships to support memberships for those who cannot afford to join NYAVA otherwise. NYAVA’s annual membership costs $90 and members receive the benefits listed on this page.

Scholarship recipients(s) will be announced during National Volunteer Week, April 21-27, 2024.

The deadline to apply for the NYAVA Membership Scholarship is Friday, March 29, 2024.
