Veterans Affairs Voluntary Service (VAVS) program
The American Legion has been a staunch supporter and active participant in the Department of Veterans Affairs Voluntary Service (VAVS) program since its inception in 1946.
Today, across the country close to 6,000 American Legion volunteers contribute over 900,000 hours annually at various VA Medical Centers, Community Based Outpatient Centers, Vet Centers, Nursing Homes, State Veterans Homes, and many more locations in support of our hospitalized veterans.
With a new generation of veterans, new locations, and technological advancements comes increased opportunities for American Legion volunteers to make a difference through the VAVS program.When Legionnaires provide the time, talent and desire, the VA provides opportunities ranging from direct patient contact to developing new marketing technology, and everything in- between. American Legion posts and members volunteer post facilities, sponsor youth volunteers, and serve veterans through partnerships with local businesses and agencies.
