Yunnan Volunteers Alliance (YVA)

Introduction

Yunnan Volunteers Alliance was established not as an organization, but a virtual alliance where various volunteers clubs and society network and collaborate on projects and learning.

The Purpose of YVA is to promote networking and collaboration between volunteers and societies so as to promote the sharing of resources and the prevention of duplication of resources.

The problems faced by many volunteers and self-help groups is the lack of resources. Basically, there are always enough resources. the thing here is not about lack of resources but on how resources can be consolidated and used to benefit the beneficiary. The other aspect is how to stretch every dollar so that low budget and high efficient projects are developed.

YVA consists of two divisions :

1. Tertiary Institution Division; consisting of community services clubs from various tertiary institutions
2. Public Division; consisting of community services society and volunteers from the community

What does YVA do?

YVA will form collaboration and execute a City-wide project each year. The project will be in-line with China’s Central Government’s direction as stipulated in the Annual Congress meeting.

For example :

2007 : Focusing on the Spirit of Community Services; serving the less fortunate

2008 : Focusing on Harmonious Society and also immigrant workers families

How does CVI comes into the picture?

CVI basically acts as an advisor to the alliance, providing training and guidance in the designing and execution of projects.
