Our Mission

Madison House serves as the student volunteer center at the University of Virginia. We coordinate volunteers, develop leaders, build community partnerships and promote lifelong volunteer service. Madison House organizes service programs to address the needs of the community as well as the educational and personal growth objectives of students.

• Cooperating with community organizations to meet the educational, service, companionship, and/or referral needs of community members.

• Improving the quality and development of services through ongoing evaluation by community members, students, and the Board of Directors.

• Empowering and training student leaders to recruit, train, match, and support student volunteers.

• Encouraging students to make a weekly commitment to service.

• Providing students with a meaningful volunteer experience which allows them to gain a greater perspective and understanding of the community and themselves.
