Volunteers will receive VACCC training and certification to support outreach efforts across Cook County. Volunteers may assist Veterans by:

  • Answering questions about Emergency Financial Services

  • Helping schedule appointments with Veteran Service Officers (VSOs)

  • Connecting Veterans with trusted partner resources

  • Assisting with community outreach events and programs

Participation is completely voluntary and flexible. After completing training, volunteers will be placed on a roster and may occasionally be contacted to assist when available. You can participate as your schedule allows.
