The Journal of Volunteer Administration was published by the Association for Volunteer Administration (AVA) between 1982-2005 as the primary source of applied research relevant to volunteer management.   All of the issues are archived on our website.  You can access the full list of issues here. Many articles are also extracted and cross-referenced by topic in the main Database.

Since the dissolution of AVA in 2006, this journal has transitioned to a new name, home base, and format.  Now titled the International Journal of Volunteer Administration (The IJOVA), it is a professional peer reviewed publication of the Department of Agricultural and Human Sciences at North Carolina State University in Raleigh.  Published only in digital formats, IJOVA is offered in recognition of the critical role of professional managers of volunteers in mobilizing human resources to address serious human, community, and social needs through volunteerism.  For more information, visit  https://www.ijova.org/about.php
