VOS saved my life. Now I feel I can give back to other veterans by volunteering with VOS.
VOS Volunteer
Being a volunteer is so rewarding and brings great joy to be able ‘to give something back’ to those who helped me. Also, volunteering at VOS is positive and a joy, especially to be surrounded by like minded volunteers who make the VOS Team.
