What is the Colorado Conference on Volunteerism (CCOV)?
The Colorado Conference on Volunteerism (CCOV) is an annual professional development event that uniquely caters to individuals working in the volunteer management and engagement sector. Grounded in the belief that building meaningful volunteer programs requires skill, strategy, and experience, CCOV is committed to advancing and elevating the profession.
The conference brings together volunteer managers, nonprofit leaders, community organizers, and researchers to explore the mechanisms and trends that drive civic engagement. Through inspiring presentations, interactive workshops, and collaborative discussions, attendees will gain practical tools and innovative strategies to recruit, retain, and empower volunteers.
