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
