YAVA Becomes One Brick Boston!
In 2005 a group of civic minded Northeastern University graduates created a group called YAVA (Young Alumni Volunteer Association). Their vision was simple -- connect young professionals and recent grads in the Boston area through one time volunteer opportunities, followed by socializing at a bar or restaurant. Since then they've recruited 1,500 volunteers and contributed over 6,000 volunteer hours to over 50 nonprofits across the city.
In 2011 they looked for help supporting their work and started talking with One Brick. One Brick started in 2001 with an almost indentical vision. One Brick had taken the idea one step further and built the infrastructure to support large-scale volunteering. One Brick now has chapters in 11 US cities. Towards the end of 2011 YAVA decided to Join the One Brick family.
Starting Jan 1st, 2012. YAVA will become One Brick Boston.
