Volunteers make a meaningful difference in the lives of Soldiers and their Families every day. Army Volunteer Corps (AVC) is designed to help you find local volunteering opportunities with organizations that benefit the Army community. The AVC has redefined volunteering within the Army. We embrace existing volunteer programs, unite all volunteers who support Soldiers and Families, (including the Active Force, National Guard and Army Reserve), and formalize the Army’s commitment to volunteerism.
 
No matter where people volunteer in the Army community, they usually want to contribute to Soldiers and their Family members. We recognize this common goal and want to help you find the right opportunity for you.
 
Volunteering helps your community and helps you as well. When you participate with AVC, you’ll:
 

• Gain a sense of satisfaction/achievement by meeting challenges
• Learn about the Army, our sister services, and the community
• Acquire new skills and/or expand old ones
• Obtain work experience
• Build new friendships and become a cohesive part of the community

 Volunteer Management Information System (VMIS) – Volunteers play an integral role in the lives of Soldiers and their Families, and are found throughout the military community. The Volunteer Management Information System (VMIS) assists the Army Volunteer Corps in managing these dedicated volunteers and allows volunteers a way to track their hours, awards, trainings, and certificates.
