Volunteers - Key to the USO's Success |
|
Volunteers have long been the key ingredient to the success of the USO. Since 1941, volunteers from around the world have shown their gratitude and appreciation to those who serve our country.
Whether helping a soldier with a connecting flight, distributing a Care Package, serving snacks with a smile, providing local information, or “welcoming home” troops from deployment, USO volunteers are vital to the success of the USO’s mission. While the duties of a volunteer may vary, the goal is always the same – to improve the quality of life of service members, to boost their morale and to serve as the link between service members and the American people.
For those serving in the United States, a USO volunteer is a familiar face, a friend and someone who is always ready to help. For those stationed overseas, volunteers bridge cultural gaps with a welcome dose of familiarity. The combined efforts of the USO’s volunteers, staff and Board Members ensure that the USO will continue to fulfill its mission until every one comes home.
"USO volunteers! Thanks for your outstanding support to those who serve."
– An Air Force Staff Sergeant
Volunteer support enables the continuation and expansion of USO programs and services for military personnel and their families worldwide. More than 25,000 members in the USO international corps of volunteers provide hundreds of thousands of hours of service annually.
