Madison House experiences empower UVA students to make a positive impact through service and community engaged learning. Our goal is to connect students with meaningful volunteer initiatives and learning opportunities that address critical needs in the community, while also promoting personal growth and leadership development. Our Board of Directors is a diverse group of UVA students, alumni, faculty/staff, and community members who are passionate about our mission and eager to serve as ambassadors of Madison House.
