Volunteers of America, a perfect nonprofit for older adults

Date:

Who We Are

Volunteers of America Colorado (VOAC) is a nonprofit, faith-based organization dedicated to helping those in need transform their lives. Through more than 50 distinct human service programs, VOAC changes the lives of over nearly 100,000 people in-need each year. VOAC’s services include housing and emergency shelters, hunger and nutrition services, and many other community support programs. Our work touches the mind, body and heart of those we serve by integrating compassion into our highly-effective programs and services that build and strengthen communities.

Who We Serve

For 125 years, our ministry of service has supported and empowered Colorado’s most underserved residents. Volunteers of America Colorado supports diverse populations, including families, children, veterans, and older adults. We address unmet needs within our communities and create programs that empower our neighbors to become self-sufficient and reach their full potential.

What Makes VOAC Special

Volunteers of America Colorado believes unique challenges require unique and thoughtful solutions. VOAC creates specialized programs to meet the critical needs of the communities we serve—meaning our services across Colorado look different because each community is distinct. VOAC recognizes the individual needs of the senior who needs a wheelchair ramp to be safe at home, and the preschooler whose family needs additional resources due to the COVID-19 crisis. We support veterans experiencing homelessness who have been under-served, and provide a safe place for women, men, and children escaping domestic violence. Wherever we go, we utilize faith, relationship-building, and volunteers to lift up and support Colorado’s most vulnerable populations.

Our administrative offices are located at 2660 Larimer Street, Denver CO 80205. To speak to someone about our programs or volunteering opportunities you may email us at info@voacolorado.org or call 303-297-0408. To keep up with our news and activities, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Volunteers of America Colorado programs are available to all people regardless of race, age, gender, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender variance, marital status, national origin, military status or physical or mental disability. To learn more, visit our DEI page.

Older Adults make up a high percentage of Volunteer of America volunteers. VOA is an organization whose hours are flexible and a good fit with your personal schedule. It is an excellent way to stay connected to your community and where needs can be addressed by your volunteerism.
