In this powerful episode of Discover Virginia, we shine a spotlight on one of the most impactful organizations headquartered right here in our backyard — Operation Smile.

Founded on the belief that every child deserves exceptional surgical care, Operation Smile has spent decades providing life-changing cleft lip and palate surgeries to children across the globe. But behind every surgery is an incredible network of volunteers — from medical professionals to passionate community members — all united by one mission: to restore smiles, confidence, and hope.

We sit down with two inspiring volunteer leaders who share what it's like to be on the front lines of this movement — in Virginia Beach and around the world. From their first missions to their most emotional moments, this conversation dives into the heart of why they serve and how Operation Smile’s work continues to transform lives far beyond the operating room.

Whether you’re a lifelong local or just discovering what makes Virginia Beach special, this episode will leave you inspired by the people who turn compassion into action — one smile at a time.
