Welcome to Volunteers of America Chesapeake, one of the most successful nonprofit agencies delivering quality transitional and permanent housing for the homeless, loving group homes for the mentally retarded and mentally ill, effective drug and alcohol recovery residential programs as well as support to the elderly and ex-offenders. We are very proud of the work that we do, the people that we serve and the staff that care so much! As the President and CEO of this incredible agency, I have the best position in the world. I am responsible for making sure that the infrastructure is sufficient to allow staff to continue to do excellent work!

I am focused on growing Volunteers of America Chesapeake’s presence in the region and making sure that we effectively meet the unmet needs of those, who in many cases, need the most support in order to get their lives back on track.  This is truly God’s work and it requires inspiration and dedication.  These are two attributes that I look for in staff and volunteers; and we are always looking for quality people.

If you’re looking for a place to contribute your resources, be it financial or human, Volunteers of America Chesapeake is the vineyard where you can make a difference.

Yours In Service,

Cecilia Griffin Golden, Ph.D.
