The Virginia Commission for National and Community Service promotes service, volunteerism, and civic engagement on both national and community levels. It supports Virginia AmeriCorps programs throughout the Commonwealth. These programs engage members in many ways such as tutoring, building homes, helping residents become employed, and visiting homebound persons. Many of the programs are actively recruiting full or part-time members. Other national service initiatives with volunteer opportunities in Virginia include Senior Corps and AmeriCorps VISTA.
