The success of the AAVSO is dependent upon the enthusiastic and generous volunteers that have helped sustain the mission of the Organization throughout the years. We rely on the time and efforts of our volunteers to help us with a multitude of tasks. Some of the prominent AAVSO volunteers have been featured on our website to thank them for the great work that they do. If you are interested in volunteering, we would appreciate your assistance!
