Army Volunteer Corps works to promote and strengthen volunteerism by uniting community volunteer efforts, supporting professional management, enhancing volunteer career mobility, and establishing partnerships to support personal growth and life-long volunteer commitment. Volunteering is a defining part of the American experience, and the Army relies on the fundamental connection between volunteerism and citizenship.  

If you have some spare time or are looking for something to do, consider volunteering. Volunteer work is a great way to get out and meet new and interesting people and keep up your work skills.
