In response to today's restrictions, stay at home orders, and quarantine environment, the Center for Development and Civic Engagement (formerly VA Voluntary Service (VAVS)) has developed and implemented a new social prescription program called the Compassionate Contact Corps (CCC).
CCC is a tele-support program to benefit Veterans who are lonely, socially isolated or would simply like to talk to someone regularly. Trained CCC volunteers provide support by making periodic phone or video calls. Veterans and volunteers will be matched based on mutual interests.
All Compassionate Contact Corps volunteers will be required to complete a formal training session. CCC volunteers will report volunteer hours to the CCC Program Coordinator.
