Attend Virtual Meetings
On the third Tuesday of each month, VFC holds a 30-minute, virtual meeting. Meetings include reports from our project teams, updates on VFC initiatives, and provide space for members to ask questions, make suggestions, and sign up for advocacy opportunities. New faces are always welcome!
Join a Team
VFC initiatives are achieved by two project teams: the Marketing, Research, and Education team and the Volunteer Engagement team. Team members are located in all parts of the commonwealth, mostly work asynchronously, and meet virtually once a month for 30 minutes.
