BECOME A VOLUNTEER The Department of Veterans Affairs Voluntary Service (VAVS) has provided over 58 years of service to America’s veterans seeking care in VA health care facilities. Since
1946, VAVS volunteers have donated 663.5 million hours of service. VAVS is the largest volunteer program in the Federal government. More than 350 national and community organizations support
VAVS. The program is supported by a VAVS National Advisory Committee, composed of 63 major veteran, civic and service organizations, which reports to the Under Secretary for Health. As the
VA has expanded its care of veteran patients into the community, volunteers have become involved. They assist veteran patients by augmenting staff in such settings as hospital wards, nursing
homes, community-based volunteer programs, end-of-life care programs, foster care and veterans outreach centers. Our VA Voluntary Service Program offers a wide range of opportunities from
direct patient care assignments to service in support activities. In all areas, your volunteer efforts will supplement and enhance the quality of the services we are able to deliver to
veteran patients. PLEASE CONTACT THE VOLUNTARY SERVICE OFFICE AT FOR MORE INFORMATION.
