Make Calls To Support New Yorkers

About Mission: VetCheck

Mission: VetCheck relies on passionate volunteers like you to make wellness check-in calls to veterans across NYC. Volunteers reconnect with veterans, thank them for their service, and ensure they are aware of the resources available to them.

Why it matters: 

These friendly check-ins provide veterans with vital information, offer assistance in navigating available resources, and help alleviate any feelings of isolation. By simply taking the time to listen and engage, you will help make veterans feel seen, appreciated, and connected to a network of support. Your efforts will encourage veterans to utilize the services they need, while also fostering a deeper sense of community and gratitude for their contributions. 

Program details:

Each project is 2 hours long, and follows a specific cadence:

• Sign into a virtual Microsoft Teams Meeting with a Team Leader and other volunteers.
• Break out into your CallHub sessions to place calls independently for 1 hour 30 mins.  
• Return to the Microsoft Teams meeting to debrief with the Team Leader and volunteers. 

What you will need:

• Access to a computer, headset, and keyboard.
