Reimagining Service Information

CONVERTING GOOD INTENTIONS TO GREATER IMPACT Building on the work of the champions of effective volunteer engagement, Reimagining Service is a national coalition of multi-sector representatives from nonprofit organizations, government, education, faith-based, funders and corporations. We seek to increase the impact of volunteers through: PRACTICE: Inspiring organizations to leverage volunteers more fully and strategically, and engage volunteers as part of their core operations. RESEARCH: Supporting and disseminating research aimed at highlighting effective volunteer engagement practices and policies and their impact on the core mission of the organization. FUNDING: Engaging funders in recognizing that volunteerism and civic engagement are cost effective strategies that help community organizations accomplish their missions, and therefore merit their financial support. Founded in 2009, Reimagining Service is affiliated with Points of Light, the world’s leading nonprofit organization, and has a 28-member Council from multiple sectors involved with volunteerism, an Executive Director, a Coordinator of the Bank of America Service Leadership Fellows Program, and graduate-level Bank of America Fellows. In collaboration with staff and fellows, the Council works cooperatively and openly with the community practitioners, educators, intermediaries, funders and leaders in the volunteer world.
