Volunteerism has always been the heartbeat of our association. The automotive community in New Hampshire is built on relationships, shared purpose and a genuine desire to move our industry forward. When our members give their time and talents, the results reach far beyond their own businesses. They strengthen the foundation that keeps New Hampshire’s automotive sector growing and thriving.

There are many ways to get involved. Some members volunteer through NHADA committees or the board of directors, helping to guide programs, policies and initiatives that support our collective success. Others serve as mentors to students and apprentices, offering real-world insight and helping young people see a future in the automotive trades.

Volunteers also play an important role in career fairs, training events and school visits (see photo above), where a conversation or demonstration can spark lifelong interest in a high-demand career. Many also choose to advocate at the State House, ensuring the automotive industry’s voice is heard on issues that matter to our businesses and employees.

Volunteerism extends well beyond our association walls. Members regularly support the NHADA Foundation’s scholarship programs, participate in safety and workforce development initiatives and give back through community service projects that strengthen the reputation of our industry as a trusted, people-focused profession.

Why It Matters

Every hour volunteered, every student mentored and every meeting attended contributes to a stronger, more sustainable future for our industry. Volunteerism builds our workforce pipeline, enhances our public image and ensures the next generation of automotive professionals inherits an industry that is respected, resilient and ready to grow.
