Volunteer at VA in the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Each year, we at VA celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day in recognition of Dr. King’s determination to see everyone volunteer to improve their communities. In so doing, we share in our experiences and promote the messages of diversity and equality.

While celebrated as a holiday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is also designated as a National Day of Service. It is the only national holiday with this classification, and we treat it as a “day on, not a day off” to promote the spirit of volunteerism and service that is the core of our mission at VA.

Depending on the needs at your local facility, there are many ways that you can explore what it means to work at VA. Through our Voluntary Service, we strive to meet the needs of America’s Veterans in many different ways, and there are numerous opportunities for you to participate, no matter your expertise or training.

While you offer valuable assistance to our Veterans, the experience of working as a volunteer at VA can have a lasting impact on your pursuit of a career as well. It’s the perfect way to help you on the path to making your unique perspectives a permanent part of our team.
