    About Us

    The Long Island Volunteer Center works to improve the quality of life across Long Island by promoting community volunteer participation through the linkage of human resources with community needs. Established in 1992 (incorporated as a nonprofit in NYS in 1994), the LIVC is the resource center for volunteerism and community service initiatives throughout Long Island's Nassau and Suffolk Counties. We believe that:

    LIVC is a place that develops and promotes the virtues of volunteerism and responsibility for civic duty and societal concern

    A sense of community underlies our actions

    Our events and activities are community-based

    Our products reflect our values and are examples of the quality and professionalism of our staff and work ethic

    An organized, professional approach to everything we do is important in maintaining our credibility as a volunteer resource center and our reputation for providing excellent service

    Volunteers have intrinsic value, and we will promote the “value of a volunteer hour” to underscore the economic impact of volunteerism
