Description
WHAT MAKES VOA SPECIAL
Volunteers of America Colorado believes unique challenges require unique and thoughtful solutions. VOA creates specialized programs to meet the critical needs of the communities we serve—our programs across Colorado look different because each community is distinct. We support Denver’s homeless veterans who have been underserved, and prepare preschoolers challenged by poverty to be successful in elementary school and beyond. Wherever we go we engage faith, relationship-building, and volunteers to lift-up and support Colorado’s most vulnerable citizens.
Do you want a career that pays and does incredible work supporting the community? Do you want a career that contributes to the greater good of humanity? The pandemic has caused an even greater need in our services, and WE ARE HIRING!
