No Veteran Dies Alone Volunteer

Save to Favorites

Be the person to serve as inspiration to Veterans while addressing the issue of Veterans dying alone.

No Veteran Dies Alone (NVDA) is a program designed to honor Veterans and to meet the needs of those Veterans who, for whatever reason, find themselves alone. If you have time on the weekends or in the evenings and want to be there for our Nation's Veterans then NVDA is the program for you.

Volunteers will find themselves engaging the community, especially Veteran volunteers, in improving
end-of-life (EOL) care for Veterans. Volunteers will provide presence, companionship, and reassurance to the
dying Veterans. VA staff will educate, nurture and support these volunteers in their journey with dying
Veterans. After completing their training, these volunteers will have expertise in military culture and the
dying process and be able to provide the comfort of presence at the bedside when family and friends are
unable to be near their loved ones.

Veterans have served our country this is your chance to help serve them.
