In 1987, the Florida Association of Directors of Volunteer Services (FADVS) organized a committee whose purpose was to develop a statewide certification program that would promote and recognize professionalism in the field of volunteer management.  Through its implementation on March 21, 1990, Florida became the third state to develop a comprehensive certification program for its membership. 

To maintaine proficiency and competence the participant will be tested in the following tested areas:

  1. General Exam
  2. Operational Management
  3. Risk Management/Quality Management
  4. Volunteer and Auxiliary Administration
  5. Essay Questions

The overall goal and objectives of the certification program are focused in three major areas:

  1. To set professional standards by which directors may evaluate their level of proficiency and competence within a standardized review process.
  2. To recognize excellence and validate professionalism in volunteer management.
  3. To increase knowledge through the promotion of continuing education on an ongoing basis with the Certification Maintenance program. To remain certified, individuals will need to re-certify every four years.
