Volunteer

Bring what you have. We will find where it fits.

Some roles ask for four hours a month, some ask for an afternoon. All of them put you in the same room as the veterans we serve.

Getting started

How it works

  1. Send the application

    Fill out the volunteer application on screen and print it, or just call us and we will go through it together.

  2. Talk it through

    A short conversation about your time, your skills, and what you actually want out of this.

  3. Screening and training

    A background check for roles working directly with veterans, plus role-specific training.

  4. Start your first shift

    You are paired with an experienced volunteer for the first one. Nobody starts alone.

Roles working directly with veterans require a background check, which we pay for. A criminal record is not automatically disqualifying, and we will tell you plainly if a role is not going to work.

You served. Now let us serve you.

Call or send a message today. Getting started is free and private, and there is no waitlist.
