Volunteers of America Greater Sacramento & Northern Nevada regularly schedules tours of its various program facilities to allow community members to gain a firsthand look at how restored hope can turn a person's life around. They also serve to introduce Volunteers of America and its ongoing mission to reach and uplift all people.

Tours are one hour in length and conducted by Volunteers of America staff.

Currently, tours are available at our Bannon Street Shelter. In December, we will once again be offering regular tours at our Winter Shelter for homeless men, women and children at Cal Expo.
