Get Involved

There's a Place for You at LAVA

Whether you want to share your ideas, volunteer, participate in community activities, support an initiative, or connect with others, there is a place for you at LAVA. Our community is built by members like you — and we welcome every level of involvement, big or small.

Ways to Get Involved

Become a Member Join LAVA and become part of a community dedicated to preserving Liberian culture, supporting one another, and making a difference in Virginia. Membership connects you to our events, programs, and a network of people who share your heritage and values.

Volunteer Lend your time and talents to our events, programs, and initiatives. From event planning to mentorship to hands-on community support, there are countless ways to get involved and make an impact.

Donate As a nonprofit charitable organization, LAVA relies on the generosity of our members and friends. Your donation directly supports our programs — from educational workshops to cultural celebrations to community outreach.

Join a Committee Get more involved in shaping the direction of LAVA by joining one of our committees. Committees are where ideas turn into action, and where members help guide our programs and priorities.

Partner With Us We welcome partnerships with organizations, businesses, and agencies that share our mission. If your organization is interested in collaborating with LAVA, we'd love to explore how we can work together to serve the community.

Sponsor a Program Support one of our workshops, events, or initiatives as a sponsor. Sponsorship helps us expand our reach and bring more opportunities to our members and the broader community.
