                                          In addition to our monthly Skill Builders, which you might call fun-sized  workshops, we also sponsor the more intensive Volunteer Management 101 twice yearly. 
                                          Our series of certification classes, MVP, is presented in the Fall and Spring.

                                          From time to time throught the year, CAVA
                                          will invite professionals from around the country to speak to at one of our
                                          educational Workshops and share thier knowledge and experience in the field of Volunteer Management. We'll keep you posted on upcoming topics!
