What
is the Army Volunteer Corps (AVC)?
The AVC is a new way of thinking about volunteers and volunteering
within the Army. It is an umbrella that encompasses all volunteers
and organizations using volunteers. No matter where individuals
volunteer in the Army community, they have the same goal. People
volunteer to contribute to the Army, to Soldiers, and to their
family members. The intent of the AVC is to recognize this
commonality of purpose among all Army volunteers and to instill the
same pride in being an Army volunteer as they now have for the
organization where they provide their service. The establishment of
the Army Volunteer Corps connects volunteers and demonstrates the
Army's commitment to it s volunteers.
How do I join the AVC?
There is no organization to join. You are a member
of the AVC when you volunteer for any organization that provides
service to Soldiers and families.
