Durham Region Association Of Volunteer Administration

DRAVA

The Durham Region Association for Volunteer Administration (DRAVA) is a professional networking body that supports members, provides education, identifies and responds to current trends in the volunteer administration sector.
Due to the vision of staff at Information Oshawa and a number of volunteer involving organisations throughout Durham, DRAVA was formed in 1987.  It was one of the first so-purposed associations to form in the Province of Ontario

The group was first called Volunteer Coordinators of Durham Region and in its fledgling state had 18 – 20 member agencies which has now grown to a membership of approximately 50 organisations as well as a number of memberships held by individuals.

Our Vision

DRAVA strengthens our community with a Vision whereby:


  • All volunteers enjoy a seamless connection to, and a positive experience from, their volunteer activity.
  • The role of the Administrator of Volunteer Resources is valued and supported by their agencies.
  • All Administrators of Volunteer Resources are members of, and actively participate in, DRAVA and PAVR-O
  • All agencies that engage volunteers work in partnership - networking, sharing information, and supporting each other day to day.


Membership has its benefits
