The demands of running a nonprofit can overwhelm even the most skilled leaders and boards. Executive Volunteer Services (EVS), a program of United Way of Central Indiana, guides and supports leaders where they need it most with expert advice gained from years of experience. Our work has a direct and positive impact on the community, helping these organizations to better serve their constituents.  

If you are leading a nonprofit in Central Indiana, you can find pro-bono services, individualized advising, coaching, facilitation, and a peer group to help improve your organization's management and governance.

If you have skills from leadership roles in nonprofits or businesses, your contribution to EVS offers meaningful volunteer opportunities that have a significant impact on thousands in Central Indiana. Your skills are not just valuable; they are integral to our mission.  

A volunteer with the Executive Volunteer Services program is helping a nonprofit organization support key functions and initiatives.
Our consultants helped the organization assess current needs and determine our ideal future state through a variety of activities that engaged different board (members) and staff stakeholders.

Over the past 12 years, Executive Volunteer Services has completed projects for hundreds of nonprofit organizations at no cost.

These efforts include:

  • Guiding nonprofits in strategic planning efforts

  • Helping to create high functioning boards

  • Mentoring the executive directors and board chairs of large and small nonprofits

“After retiring as CEO I searched for fulfilling volunteer opportunities, it wasn’t until I began working with EVS that I found what I was looking for. I put my knowledge of nonprofits to work.
