The continued success of the volunteer program can be attributed to strong advocacy of volunteerism from leadership, talented Volunteer Resource Managers and the thousands of residents that dedicate their time to our organization. The quality of life here in Virginia Beach is second to none and much of that is thanks to the excellent services provided by our volunteers.
