Supporting Public Servants in Transition: Your Next Chapter Starts with NAVPLG

You’ve served your community, now let us serve you.

The National Association of Volunteer Program Leaders in Government (NAVPLG) is committed to supporting those who dedicate their careers to public service. In response to the actions of the current administration, in coordination with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has led to the displacement of federal employees and local government employees who no longer have federal funding for their positions, NAVPLG is offering complimentary one-year individual memberships to affected professionals.

This initiative is rooted in NAVPLG’s unwavering belief in the value of public servants and the vital contributions they make to our communities. While we remain a nonpartisan organization, we recognize the personal and professional impact of these administrative decisions, and we are here to help.


Why We're Offering This

Government professionals are the backbone of service delivery, policy implementation, and civic engagement. When their roles are abruptly eliminated, their knowledge, passion, and leadership do not disappear; they shift. NAVPLG wants to be a bridge to what’s next.

By offering these complimentary memberships, we aim to provide stability, connection, and professional growth during a time of transition. You may be between positions, but you are never between purposes.


Benefits of NAVPLG Membership

As a NAVPLG member, you’ll gain access to a supportive national network of peers and experts who are committed to excellence in volunteer engagement and public service. Your membership includes:

  • Professional Networking: Connect with leaders across all levels of government who are engaged in volunteer program management and public service.
  • Career Resources: Access professional development webinars and leadership training to help you take your next step.

You Are Not Alone

Losing a position in one government agency does not diminish your dedication, experience, or worth. NAVPLG honors your service, and we believe your future is still full of promise. Whether you are seeking new opportunities, exploring different paths, or simply needing connection during this time, we welcome you with open arms.
