What We Do

Since 1970, the Vollintine Evergreen Community Association members and volunteers have been engaging with and investing in our neighborhood.

Our Mission, Vision, and Values

VECA’s mission is to maintain a quality residential neighborhood through the volunteer efforts of the neighborhood’s residents and community partners.

VECA’s vision is to make Vollintine Evergreen a joyful place to live, work, and play.

VECA is driven by our six values:

• We are culturally diverse

• We are inclusive

• We support our greenspaces

• We care about our historic design and architecture

• We are the voice for our community

• We respect and care for our neighbors

For more than 50 years, VECA members and volunteers have been engaging with and investing in our neighborhood. Our goals are to:

• Support our volunteers and committees as they ignite grassroots involvement, continuing VECA’s history as the primary change agent in Vollintine Evergreen.

• Engage in effective and efficient partnerships with surrounding neighborhoods, institutions, and government entities to accomplish mutual goals.

• Work directly, and in partnership with neighbors and the city and county, to improve and maintain properties in the neighborhood.

• Remain an organization with the necessary flexibility to support an authentic grassroots base but also the organizational structure necessary to make projects manageable and sustainable.

Memphis’ overall success hinges on a network of healthy neighborhoods. Thanks to the decades-long efforts of VECA, Vollintine Evergreen is one of the most stable, desirable, and diverse neighborhoods in the region.
