Is Volunteers of America a religious organization?
Yes, Volunteers of America was established in 1896 by Christian social reformers Ballington and Maud Booth. The mission of the organization, as stated in 1896, is “to reach and uplift all people and bring them to the knowledge and active service of God.” We accomplish this through a dynamic ministry of service that takes a comprehensive approach of ministering to the “whole person” to an individual’s physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
