    Description

    VET-TO-VET VOLUNTEERS

    Are you a Veteran looking for a meaningful way to give back to your band of brothers and sisters who served? Vet-to-Vet Volunteers have the unique ability to relate, connect, share stories and enhance the quality of life for veteran patients. This creates a common bond that only Veterans can share. Volunteering with Veteran patients takes as little as two hours a week. As a Vet-to-Vet Volunteer, you will play an important role in our team. Veteran Volunteers may assist with:

    • Providing companionship to Veteran patients
    • Playing card games or board games
    • Conversation
    • Life Review
    • Letter writing
    • Providing caregivers with a much needed break
    • Participating in We Honor Veterans ceremonies
    • and much more

    A few important notes:

    • Volunteers must be 18 years or older to participate.
    • We provide online patient care training to help you feel prepared and supported.
    • For your first few visits, I will accompany you for an introduction to ensure you're comfortable and that it’s a good fit for both you and the patient/family.
    • The following documentation will be required:
      • Valid Driver’s License or State ID
      • Auto Insurance
      • Copy of your Social Security Card or Passport
