Mission Statement

Volunteers of America, Dakotas is called by the Gospel to guide people to live healthy and fulfilling lives.

Kingdom Calling

Reaching out to help those whom we are called to serve achieve their full potential, VOA Dakotas demonstrates God’s love by:

Guiding people with behavioral health needs
Uplifting children, youth, and families
Supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities
Strengthening those struggling with homelessness

Our Ministry

Since our organization was founded in 1896, Volunteers of America’s goal has been to answer God’s call to transform the world through a ministry of service that feeds, clothes, shelters, and demonstrates to all people that they are beloved children of God.

VOA Dakotas works with individuals of all faiths, races, and backgrounds in the Sioux Falls area. Our Ministry is one of service. We seek to serve the needs of the whole person (mind, body, and spirit) by bringing together the human service agency and the church. We provide assistance to people of all faiths and never require those we serve to participate in worship services or even to acknowledge specific beliefs. Yet all of our programs and services are motivated by and exemplify Christian beliefs and principles.
