Both veterans and non-veterans wishing to serve Monroe County's veterans can begin the application process to become a Volunteer Driver by leaving a voice mail for Ken Kellar at 317-225-6126. 

Each volunteer will require a valid Indiana Driver’s License and undergo a thorough background investigation conducted by the VA Hospital Voluntary Service office.

The new Monroe County Veteran Treatment Court is searching for veterans to fill the roll of Volunteer Veteran Mentors.

Volunteer Mentors act as coach, guide, role model, advocate, and a support for the individual with whom he or she is working. This will in-clude listening to concerns and making suggestions, assisting the participant, determining needs, reminding the participant of his or her responsibilities in civilian life and to the court, and to provide support in a way that only another veteran would understand.

The mentor must be a veteran, guard/reserve or active duty member of one of the branches of the United States Military: Navy, Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard, or the corresponding re-serve branches. Veterans who have a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge are not normally eligible, but those with exceptional success stories are welcome to apply.
