About PNVSCA:
The Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA) is the government agency mandated to promote and coordinate volunteer programs and services in the Philippines.
It was created as a committee in 1964 to concretize the Philippine Government’s commitment to the agreement reached during the International Middle Level Manpower Conference held in Puerto Rico in 1962 adopting volunteerism as a tool for socio-economic development.
It became an office in 1973 and then an Agency on 12 December 1980 through Executive Order No. 635. PNVSCA is under the administrative supervision of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).
PNVSCA closely works with other government agencies, non-government organizations, the academe, the corporate group, the media and other partners in converging and linking the different volunteering efforts and resources so that they are aligned with national priorities and assist especially the marginalized sectors and communities. PNVSCA takes the lead in advocating and recognizing the contributions of volunteers to nation-building and international cooperation.
