Veterans’ Voice of America (Vets Voice) is slowly but steadily growing! We invite you to help us improve the health and wellness of Veterans, their families, and their communities by applying for volunteer board membership.

Our board is in the organizing/founding stage, and we seek volunteer board members who are eager to help strengthen Vets Voice’s foundation and build a strong organization for all Veterans.

Our goal is to one day provide support and services for all eight dimensions of wellness: physical, emotional, intellectual, social, environmental, occupational, spiritual, and financial. Our initial effort will be on offering unparalleled no-cost claims assistance throughout the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits claims process and beyond!

Do you believe that our Nation’s Veterans deserve high quality free legal representation? Do you have a personal connection to the military or veteran community? Do you want to give back to those who served their Country? Do you want to make sure veterans receive the best healthcare and help us develop programs and services that promote their wellness? If so, Vets Voice is a good fit for you!
