National Volunteer Week is April 15-21 – and volunteer health professionals are especially critical to response efforts for national disasters and public health emergencies. But you don’t have to wait until disaster strikes to sign-up to help. Through HHS’ federal program ESAR-VHP, you can register in advance to receive updates on local and national emergency volunteer opportunities that match your individual skills and experience - so you can serve where you’re needed most and can make the biggest impact.

ESAR-VHP also verifies your credentials and licenses in advance of an emergency– saving precious time when there’s an immediate need for volunteers. Learn more about volunteering through ESAR-VHP and register online at www.phe.gov/esarvhp.
