VOICE was founded as a response to the clamor of volunteer organizations for a new configuration that would uphold complementation and cooperation among themselves and with their partners in the region, as equals. Significantly; VOICE chose to focus on volunteer. "Linking Volunteers" became the VOICE -tag line as the Network pushed its programs for building inclusive, learning communities of in service and post-service volunteers.- Dr. Grace Aguiling-Dalisay, Founder
