This summer, a new generation is stepping up to serve those who served us. The Veterans Health Care System of the Ozarks’ SERVE Program — Students Volunteering for Veterans — is officially underway! Through this youth volunteer program, local teens are gaining valuable leadership skills, exploring future career paths, and making meaningful connections with Veteran patients.
SERVE stands for:
• Serving our Nation’s heroes
• Enriching personal and professional growth
• Rewarding opportunities that make a difference
• Volunteering to give back
• Expanding horizons through new experiences
From providing companionship and support to assisting with events and administrative projects, these young volunteers are helping create a welcoming environment for Veterans while learning lessons that will last a lifetime. Thank you to our SERVE volunteers for choosing to spend part of your summer serving those who have sacrificed so much for our country. Your dedication is already making a difference.
