NORVA connects Northeast Ohio RPCV's with each other and our community.
Volunteer
NORVA is committed to giving Returned Peace Corps Volunteers the opportunity to continue their passion for service at home.
Recognizing that NORVA members have unique talents, many organizations in Northern Ohio are seeking NORVA members to volunteer. Listed below are organizations have an existing relationship with NORVA and may interest members. Members are encouraged to contact these organizations on their own for individual volunteer opportunities.
In addition to helping the Northern Ohio community partner with individual members, NORVA also sponsors service opportunities, where members can network with other RPCVs, serve their communities, and continue promoting an understanding of the world at home. These events are posted on the event calender (EVENTS).
