Volunteer Today!
Getting involved in your community has never been easier.
Explore a new career, develop skills, set your own hours, network with other professionals and create opportunities for yourself. If your goal is to help others and have some quality time away from home, volunteering can be most rewarding. Volunteer opportunities offer all levels of positions from educational, accounting, and creative to just plain fun. The Army Volunteer Corps Coordinator (AVCC) will assist you in documenting your volunteer time to enable you to use it on a job application should you choose to do so.
The ACS Army Volunteer Corps AVC Program is the administrative umbrella for all on post volunteering and includes three fields for volunteers to fall under:
-
STATUTORY POSITIONS: Authorized by federal statue (10 USC 1588) to provide services in certain Department of Defense activities such as Morale Welfare and Recreation (MWR), Family Programs, museums, chaplain, child care, etc. When acting within the scope of their position description, statutory volunteers are provided certain benefits by law. Per AR 608-1 all Statutory Volunteers must register with VMIS or unit/organization, complete a volunteer agreement (DD FORM 2793), and have a position description prior to starting work.
-
PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS: Volunteers are part of non-federal entities authorized to operate on the installation such as Hunter Thrift Shop, scouts, Red Cross, Community Marne Club, etc. These organizations contribute to the overall installation mission. Volunteers for private organizations are covered only by those benefits provided by the private organization and are not eligible for any benefits from the Army.
- GRATUITOUS SERVICE: Volunteers provide services to organizations not covered under the federal statute, and do so with no expectation of compensation or benefit coverage. Volunteers must sign a gratuitous service agreement. Call 912-767-5058 for more information on Gratuitous Service volunteering.
Call the AVCC for more information at 912-767-5058.
