Volunteers are a crucial part of The Wall That Heals experience for visitors that will travel to our community to see it. Our goal is for each visitor to come away with an exceptional overall experience and an understanding of the Vietnam War and its impact on the men and women who served, along with the impact to their families, friends and our country.
Please join us in welcoming The Wall That Heals to our community from April 2 – April 6 by volunteering to honor all who have served. Onsite volunteers act as ambassadors for our community and provide a friendly face to ensure that visitors to The Wall That Heals feel welcome. The Wall That Heals is open 24-hours a day for the duration of the display period.
We are pleased to be able to offer volunteer opportunities. For those who wish to assist others in their visit the exhibit please go the our VOLUNTEER FORM to schedule yourself for a volunteer shift.
