During the service year, VIP Fellows earn a Volunteer Management Certificate to build skills in volunteer management. Extensive training in nonprofit professional skills is also offered. The VIP Fellow team in this region is managed by HandsOn Central California. VIP Fellows lead volunteers and inspire communities to support important service efforts through meaningful service programs that change lives. Come join us, and make an impact this year.
