1967 – VOLUNTEER SERVICES BUREAU/VOLUNTARY ACTION CENTER – The VSB was established after a joint study by the Community Council and the Junior League that determined the need for a clearinghouse for volunteers. In December 1971, the VSB became a Voluntary Action Center, joining a national network of independent local centers dedicated to the promotion of voluntary action to meet urgent local needs. The Bureau recruits volunteers and refers them for placement; it seeks to find and help organize new opportunities for volunteers to serve; and it assists agencies or groups in setting up new programs using volunteers. The VSB/VAC was funded by the Junior League and United Way.
