Our Ministry

A Ministry of Service

Seeing broken people physically, emotionally, and spiritually healed, thriving in their faith community as beloved citizens in Christ’s Kingdom.
– Ministry Vision

In addition to being one of the nation’s largest and most comprehensive human services organizations, Volunteers of America is a spiritual-based ministry of service. For more than 100 years, Volunteers of America has provided essential services to heal the body and spirit. We provide human service programs and opportunities for individual and community involvement.

Volunteers of America has been ecumenical from the beginning. Its ministers have always come from all Christian faith traditions. In fact, ministers are encouraged to be active in other Christian churches for worship, service to others, and continued spiritual growth. This understanding of ministry derives from the foundation of Volunteers of America as both a church itself and as an “auxiliary” to the universal Christian church with a special mission of service.

Volunteers of America offers people a unique opportunity to put their faith into action. Working together with the help of our committed volunteer board members and volunteers, we can achieve our collective mission and make the world a more compassionate place to live.
