- Mission [1]
- Volunteers assist Veteran patients by augmenting staff in such settings as hospital wards, Community Living Centers, community-based
volunteer programs, end-of-life care programs, foster care, respite care, national cemeteries and Veterans outreach centers.
The National Advisory Committee (NAC) of the Department of Veterans Affairs Voluntary Service (VAVS) provides advice to the
Secretary of Veterans Affairs, through the Under Secretary for Health, on the coordination and promotion of volunteer activities
within VA health care facilities, and on other matters relating to volunteerism. It keeps the officers and members of participating
organizations informed of volunteer needs and accomplishments. The Committee actively supports the strategic plan of the VA
Voluntary Service Office.
