National Service Codes

This screen allows you to add a new national service or edit an existing one. A national VHA service becomes available to local Voluntary Service stations through its code. It can then be used as part of volunteer combination codes in scheduling volunteer work. National service codes must be three digits between 001 and 799 and can be followed by an uppercase alpha character. The service subdivision is the department whose jurisdiction the service is under.
