More than 50 people have joined the volunteer ranks for the Veterans Services Center at the Los Alamitos-based Joint Forces Training Base, but more are needed.
The JFTB Volunteer Corps is seeking members interested in providing support and services to veterans
. The new Veterans Services Center opened because military officials recognized the need for immediate services being available in one central location to enable military families to get the help they need for a successful transition back into civilian life.
The new center is designed to help resolve problems, including mental health, financial, housing, drug dependencies, education, employment, child care, mortgage concerns, physical health and transportation.
Volunteers should be willing to work a minimum of two hours per week and not to exceed four hours per week. They do not need prior military experience.
The next volunteer orientation is scheducled for 9-11:30 a.m., Sept. 27, at the Veterans Services Center in Building 244. The base is located at 11200 Lexington Drive, Los Alamitos.
