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.
