During 2000, a partnership between Community Service Volunteers (CSV) in the United Kingdom and the Minnesota Association of Volunteer Directors (MAVD) in the United States, achieved a long planned dream of participating in a work exchange of Volunteer Program Managers from both countries. e-Volunteerism asked three participants about the first exchange between the two organisations: Arnie Wickens, the Director of CSV Consulting in the United Kingdom; Sandy Bergeron, Past President of MAVD; and Melissa Eystad, e-Volunteerism Editor of the All-Volunteer Groups feature area and the initiator of the this exchange project.

Please tell our readers a little bit about yourselves.

Arnie Wickens (United Kingdom )
My name is Arnie Wickens and I am the Director of CSV Consulting in the UK.

Founded in 1962, CSV is the UK's leading agency for volunteering and community involvement, with over 550 employees and 100,000 volunteers a year passing through our different programmes across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We involve everybody who wants to volunteer and we work with the belief that everybody has something to offer. All our work is in partnership with other agencies and across all sectors.
