Dwyer “Vet2Vet” of Ulster County Program
The Dwyer “Vet2Vet” of Ulster County Program that is under the Hudson Valley National Center for Veteran Reintegration (HVNCVR) is seeking volunteers. We provide peer support, advocacy, and other services to our military community. Our office is located within Tech City and through these difficult times we have our doors open. We are able to provide essential services which allows participants and community members to address their mental health.
If a volunteer is able to dedicate at lease one hour at our office weekly, it would permit us to keep our doors open during these difficult times. The office is open 10am-4pm Monday- Friday by appointments. There is an inconstant foot traffic, so some days the office may be empty and others days there might be a few individuals.
In addition, we are seeking volunteers to assist HVNCVR with our technology needs such as website maintenance and social media as well as administrative task outside of the office.
We have two events coming up that might pique some interest from volunteers. The first will be located at Safeshoot LLC on Monday, February 15th from 11am- 2pm. It is a free event for our military community. Our second event will be on Friday, February 19th at 7pm. It will be a fundraiser recognition dinner as well as an event that celebrates Black History Month.
Thank you for your time, I can be contacted by email or phone at 845-288-1951 and Gavin.Walters@HVCVR.org.

Wounded Warrior Project
Improving the quality of life for our injured soldiers involves working together and doing whatever we can to help engage warriors in their transition from the battlefield to life back home. This can take many forms, from offering financial support; volunteering your time at a WWP-sponsored event; legislative advocates; coordinating an event at your home, social club, or place of employment; or spreading awareness for WWP with flyer distribution. For complete information on becoming a WWP volunteer call the volunteer services department at 877.832.6997.
