    First Impressions Volunteers: welcome Veterans, their family members and visitors into the facility; assist with questions; and provide information, directions and wayfinding.

Volunteers are positioned at stations throughout the facility including the main entrances, elevator banks and satellite waiting rooms.

    Volunteers must be able to hear and communicate clearly and have excellent customer service. Basic computer skills preferred.
