What is CVFC?
The College Volunteers Facilitators Corps (CVFC) is composed of college-level student volunteers that work under the Michigan Student Leadership umbrella. They teach leadership skills to students across the state of Michigan by facilitating activities at leadership events.
CVFC members meet monthly to assist in program and curriculum development, MASC/MAHS Michigan Student Leadership promotion, scholarship fundraising, and community service. CVFC also works alongside the Director of Student Services for school site visits and independent leadership training activities. CVFC members are leaders that volunteer their time to work with the next generation of leaders in Michigan.
Mission Statement
As the College Volunteer Facilitator Corps (CVFC), we foster leadership skills by serving students through facilitation, outreach, and community service. We cultivate a community of diverse thinkers committed to growth, equity, and accountability.
Throughout the year, CVFC members are expected to participate in MASC/MAHS summer leadership camp, and attend monthly meetings at the MASSP office in Lansing, Michigan. At our meetings, we work in committees to keep schools across the state of Michigan engaged. Our current committees are:
- Research and Resource Development
- Community Service
- Membership
- Social Media
- Fundraising
In the beginning of new members’ time on CVFC, they will be able to spend time in each committee in order to see where they feel their strengths are best utilized. During their second semester on CVFC, they will be placed in their official committee. However, there is the option to be on multiple committees at once if their schedule allows for it.
Additionally, CVFC members attend events throughout the year such as:
- Leadership Training Institutes
- Regional CONNECT Conferences
- The Student Leadership State Conference
- Summer Leadership Camp
