Career Corps

An Opportunity to Give Back and Gain Skills

When we began Career Corps in 2011, we started from the following tenets:

1.Volunteers are central to the military community and our mission.

2.Volunteerism should be a mutually beneficial relationship for the individual and the organization.

3.Volunteers should have the chance to grow professionally or personally based on their needs.

We are proud to say that these beliefs have guided our program as it has evolved into what it is today—a meaningful volunteer program that benefits our volunteers and the military community.

Volunteers are central to the military community and our mission.

No matter where you look in the military community, you’ll find volunteers. Volunteers keep the Veteran Service Organizations, the FRGs, and various other entities moving forward. They process the race registrations; they put together the care packages; and they contribute in countless other ways to support our military members, Veterans, and families.
