Our Mission is to enrich the lives of Central New Jersey residents by promoting effective volunteerism and service. We do this by:

Providing a free, user-friendly and current web site that functions as a volunteer clearinghouse, helping potential volunteers find suitable opportunities through organizations (e.g. non-profits, community groups) that will effectively use them.
Providing appropriate training and professional development to the organizations' leaders and staff, offering workshops and other resources to help them effectively recruit, utilize, retain, and recognize volunteers
Partnering with nonprofits, foundations, corporations, government agencies/officials, and other public and private entities to support initiatives and efforts that match our mission and contribute to the public good.
