What's Your Why?
Volunteer Impact
- In Fiscal Year 2023, over 25,000 Volunteers served more than 3.5 Million Volunteer Hours. Individuals and partnering organizations gave over $81.1 Million in gifts and donations. Value added to VA – more than $193.5 Million!
What's Your Why?
WHY would you want to be a VA Volunteer? One of the most important benefits of volunteering is the opportunity to explore and fulfill your passions. For many volunteers, that passion is serving Veterans. For others, their “why” is the chance to explore a new career field. For some, they like feeling like they are investing in an activity that is making a difference in their community.
Serving Veterans Amid a Global Pandemic
Please be aware VA continues to engage volunteers in essential assignments and accept donations under new protocols that will ensure only safe, compliant materials enter our supply chain. Please work with your local VA Center for Development & Civic Engagment (CDCE) office prior to making donations and/or beginning your volunteer experience.
