Inside MAVA: Leading the Future of Volunteerism with Niila Hebert & Polly Roach

In this episode of The Nonprofit Insider Podcast, we’re joined by Niila Hebert, Executive Director, and Polly Roach, Director of Partnership and Evaluation at the Minnesota Alliance for Volunteer Advancement (MAVA).

With over two decades of sector leadership between them, Niila and Polly take us inside one of the nation’s most respected organizations in the volunteerism space. Together, we unpack what nonprofits are experiencing in 2025—from volunteer trends and funding realities to the weight of federal program cuts like the dismantling of AmeriCorps NCCC.

🎙️ In this episode, we discuss:

What MAVA is hearing from nonprofit partners across the country
How volunteer engagement has shifted since the pandemic
How Nilla Hebert is adjusting to serving at the organizations newest Executive Director
What to expect at MAVA’s upcoming 2025 “ROADTRIP: Choose Your Adventure” Conference
Plus, Paula gives us a #NonprofitHorrorStory that many of us in the sector can relate to.

Whether you're a volunteer engagement professional, nonprofit executive, or someone who believes in the power of service—this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.

Get ready for the MAVA conference happening June 16-18 at St. Paul College right here: https://www.mavanetwork.org/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=286912&module_id=691776
