Your Participation Can Make a Difference

The Voluntary Service Program at the Department of Veterans Affairs, New Jersey Health Care System has a wide variety of volunteer activities available in a flexible fashion, just for you.  The program fulfills a national commitment, to care for and enhance the lives of American's veterans.

Our devoted corporate participants and volunteers offer ongoing support for a number of these needs that brighten the lives of these special men and women who fought so bravely to preserve our freedom.

Many of our volunteers bring their diverse backgrounds and unique skills to their volunteer assignments, while others bring a desire to learn and explore, finding the experience truly beneficial.  All come offering their support, which is one of the most valuable assets.

You are encouraged to join our Voluntary Service team and discover the personal satisfaction you will receive "earning your stripes".  In addition, special recreational sponsorship opportunities exist to promote the true value of your support within the community or during special events.

The invitation is open.  Your participation and support can make a difference, and we guarantee it will be rewarding.

A menu of the available voluntary service opportunities  is available.
