The Fargo VA Health Care System is always seeking the generosity of donors and Volunteers. The purpose of the Fargo VA Health Care System's Center for Development & Civic Engagement

is to support our nation’s heroes by partnering with local service organizations, area businesses, and individuals from our community. VOLUNTEER VA has many programs that you can volunteer

your time with such as becoming a VOLUNTEER TRANSPORTATION NETWORK DRIVER, greeting Veterans at the main entrance as a RED COAT AMBASSADOR, or becoming part of the COMPASSIONATE CONTACT

CORPS by contacting socially isolated Veterans through phone calls. Your time commitment is up to you.  Volunteer opportunities are available for ADULTS over the age of 18 and STUDENTS who

are at least 14 YEARS OLD (SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAM). Volunteers fill a number of vital roles to improve the overall health care experience for our nation’s Veterans. * Visit our 

VolunteerMatch.org  page to view open volunteer opportunities within the Fargo VA Health Care System. * Contact one of the CDCE Specialists by calling EXT. 3395. Specialists can answer any

potential volunteer questions and share new positions that may be approved in the future. In order to qualify as a VA HCS volunteer, ALL APPLICANTS MUST COMPLETE A BACKGROUND CHECK,
