40th National Veteran Wheelchair Games
Volunteer Registration

The NVWG team is working hard to ensure this year’s program is safe and successful for everyone. A full guide of precautions, the 2021 NVWG Playbook, has been developed after consultation with our medical team and reviewing the CDC recommendations, New York City Department of Health officials, and published guidelines and guidance from leadership from both VA and PVA. Everyone participating in the 2021 NVWG must agree to follow these guidelines.

  • Before registering, please see the 2021 NVWG Safety Playbook for full details. If you are unable or unwilling to comply with these requirements, please do not register to volunteer.

Thank you for your interest in supporting the 40th National Veterans Wheelchair Games in New York City!  By becoming a volunteer, you join the ranks of thousands who are dedicated to making this event, and we welcome your contribution.

The National Veterans Wheelchair Games is the largest annual wheelchair sporting event in the world, presented by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA). VA and PVA are proud to team up with the VA New York Harbor Healthcare System to host the 40th National Veterans Wheelchair Games (NVWG) in New York City this August. This year, 2021, marks a significant milestone of 40 years empowering our nation’s Veterans to live healthy and active lives through adaptive sports and recreation. Considering the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic over the past year, coming together as a community in New York as well as across the country through the atHOME competitions, makes this year’s NVWG even more special.
