CVIA is a membership group of adult volunteers of all ages and professions dedicated to building better communities through volunteerism.

Members are provided opportunities to volunteer through hands-on volunteer experiences, to network and socialize with fellow members, and to serve as leaders in their community through leadership positions. Since 1988, CVIA has been supporting nonprofit organizations in Southwestern Fairfield County.

CVIA provides busy professionals with the flexibility to volunteer for projects that fit their interests and schedules, networking at social events, and leadership opportunities without a minimum time requirement. CVIA works with national and local nonprofit agencies in Fairfield County. Members have the flexibility to volunteer for projects that fit their interest and time schedule.

Please feel free to join us at our monthly meeting - someone will be there to greet you and show you around. Find out what CVIA is all about!
