Our story

Founded in 1995, the Idaho Directors of Volunteer Services (IDOVS) was born from a shared vision: to strengthen communities across Idaho by empowering those who lead volunteer efforts. As the demand for organized, impactful volunteer work grew, a group of dedicated professionals came together to create a network for volunteer coordinators, managers, and directors throughout the state.

Since then, IDOVS has become a cornerstone of volunteerism in Idaho, providing invaluable support, training, and resources to those who manage volunteer programs. Our members come from all sectors, including nonprofit organizations, government agencies, schools, and community groups, all working together to foster a culture of service, equality, and collaboration.

We believe that volunteers are the heart of every community. Through our work, we aim to elevate the importance of volunteerism, provide tools for effective volunteer management, and create lasting connections between volunteers and the organizations that need them most.

As an association, we are dedicated to ensuring that those who manage volunteers have the resources they need to create positive change in Idaho. From professional development opportunities to advocacy efforts, we strive to empower volunteer leaders to do what they do best—create a lasting impact in the lives of individuals and communities throughout our great state.

Together, we are stronger, and together, we make Idaho a better place for all.
