Get Involved

Volunteers of America was founded in 1896 by social reformers Ballington and Maud Booth. They envisioned a movement dedicated to “reaching and uplifting” the American people. On behalf of the organization, the Booths pledged to “go wherever we are needed, and do whatever comes to hand.” That declaration has guided Volunteers of America’s outreach efforts ever since.

For more than 110 years, Volunteers of America has helped rebuild lives across the nation — one story at a time. This year, with the support and encouragement of our 15,000 employees and more than 95,000 volunteers nationwide, we helped nearly 2 million people rebuild their lives.

Volunteers of America Alaska contributes to our national success through the skills, talents and commitment of our volunteers and employees serving Alaska. Please join us in our mission of service.
