Description
Volunteers of America Chesapeake & Carolinas empowers self-reliance and inspires hope.

As a church without walls, we do this through personalized housing, ministry, health, and human services that benefit vulnerable individuals, their families and the community.

Founded in 1896 in Baltimore, MD by social reformers, Ballington and Maud Booth, we were one of the first of over 30 affiliates of Volunteers of America - one of the nation's largest and most comprehensive human services organizations.

Our founders envisioned a movement dedicated to reaching and uplifting the American people.

On behalf of the organization, the Booths pledged "to go wherever we are needed, and do whatever comes to hand".

Their declaration continues to guide Volunteers of America's impact on "Helping America's most vulnerable".


Through a dedicated and committed team of more than 850 employees and thousands of volunteers, we provide critical care, support services and hope to thousands of people each year throughout Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia and the Carolinas.

We firmly believe our employees drive the success of the organization.

Through our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts (DEI), we endeavor to attract, engage and retain qualified, diverse, compassionate individuals to join our journey and experience a work environment that offers challenging, stimulating and financially rewarding opportunities.
