Mission
Since 1974, Volunteer Fairfax has been the regional leader to amplify community impact through volunteerism. Our mission is to lead, connect, and mobilize people and resources to build capacity for stronger communities. We work with 650+ nonprofits and agencies that offer residents the flexibility to serve in ways that suit their lifestyles, skills, and passions. Pre-pandemic, we engaged close to 14,000 volunteers to perform a wide array of activities ranging from supporting the social service agencies that feed, clothe, and house those who are living in poverty, to assisting during times of emergency. Working with the Fairfax County government and other stakeholders, we intentionally consider Inclusion, Equity, and Diversity (IED+) in the delivery of community programs and services.
