Become a Volunteer

The Durham VA Health Care System depends on the goodwill of donors and volunteers who want to give something back to America's heroes. Volunteers provide much-needed help throughout the health care system and make Veterans' experiences more enjoyable. Many different volunteer opportunities are available; and each volunteer's talents are closely matched with one of our assignments. 

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please visit the VA Center for Development and Civic Engagement Home. 

We are not accepting college students until Fall 2023.

Volunteer as a driver of our DAV Vans

Many sick and disabled Veterans lack transportation to and from VA medical facilities. The VA operates the Veterans Transportation Network (VTN) in cooperation with the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) to meet this need. 

Qualified volunteers drive Veterans to and from VA hospitals and clinics, helping Veterans receive the care they deserve.
