Volunteer Opportunities
May 22 – 27
We want everyone to experience The Wall That Heals, which is why it’ll be open 24/7 from May 24-27, but we need your help to make that happen. Volunteering with us means you’re helping keep alive the memories of over three million Americans who served in the Vietnam War, including honoring the 58,281 incredible souls who gave everything. Joining in is a powerful way to be part of something meaningful, and we promise, it’s an experience you won’t forget.
Since its debut in 1996, the exhibit has been on display in more than 700 U.S. communities in addition to an April 1999 tour of the Four Provinces of Ireland and a visit to Canada in 2005. The Wall That Heals is a program of VVMF, the nonprofit organization that built the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. in 1982. The Wall That Heals is the only traveling exhibit affiliated with The Wall in Washington, D.C. and includes the largest Wall replica that travels the country.
