There are countless ways volunteers support the USO, but they all share an abiding dedication to our service members and their families. Whether it’s volunteering in one of our centers, welcoming service members at a homecoming, volunteering at special events, or providing a listening ear, our volunteers are the reason service members know they can count on the USO.
- Volunteers must be 18 years or older to volunteer in a center
- Minors (13 and up) are allowed to volunteer at some Special Events, only if parent or guardian volunteers WITH them and signs a Minor Waiver Form
- USOHRCV does not accept limited duration volunteer commitments, such as to fulfill court-ordered community service hours due to the time commitment required for volunteer training
- In order to be considered for a volunteer position, all applicants must agree to submit to a security background check as required by many of the installations and airports where the USO centers are located (where needed)
