How to Get Involved

Join a committee!

Professional involvement isn't limited to the Board!  WVCA has plenty of opportunities for members to get involved by participating in one (or more!) of our committees.  Take a look at the list and see which area(s) in which you might want to get involved.  It's a great way to gain leadership experience, build your CV, and contribute to the counseling profession.  Graduate student members are also welcome and encouraged to participate!

If you're interested in getting involved, even if you're not sure where to start, reach out to us - we'd love to hear from you!
