How Do I Volunteer?
 Amarillo VA Health Care System - Amarillo, TX
Volunteer Application Process
Everyone is required to attend an orientation before beginning service as a VA volunteer. The 2 hour orientation, an introduction to the medical center, covers many of the same topics as employee orientation. The basic purpose of the orientation is three fold:
1. To complete the application process
2. To provide information related to the policies, functions and objectives of the Medical Center and
3. To provide an understanding of the fundamental principles and procedures of volunteer service in the medical center.
The Supervisor in the assigned area will provide job specific training.
All volunteers are required to receive a tuberculin skin test when they begin volunteering. This test is administered, free of charge, at the orientation session. The test must be repeated on an annual basis in order to keep your volunteer status with the VA. All volunteers over the age of 18 will be fingerprinted with the VA Police Service. You will also receive an ID badge and a volunteer parking sticker.
After completing the volunteer orientation, an appointment will be set up for you to discuss your interests and placement opportunities at the medical center.
