Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteerism is aligned with Marine Corps Leadership goals by supporting Marines, Sailors, and their families through impact volunteer opportunities that allow them to grow personally and professionally. HQMC is collaborating with all programs, activities and installations to grow volunteerism for Marines, Sailors and their families in addition to connecting with the surrounding communities.

Volunteerism is paramount to the success of many programs aboard MCAS Cherry Point.  If you would like more information on volunteer opportunities both on and off the installation, please call 252-466-4101 or email: ombcherrypointvolunteers@usmc-mccs.org.

Who Can Volunteer?

Volunteerism is governed by MCO 5380.2. This applies to those individuals who provide their volunteer services to a Marine Corps entity or have their hours tracked & recognized by the Marine Corps and/or MCCS.
Per MCO 5380.2, a volunteer:

• Must be 13 years of age or older
• Minors (unless an active duty military member) must have parental permission to volunteer
• Must willingly offer, be accepted, and provide voluntary services
• Must be in an off-duty status if active duty or a civilian employee
• Cannot count any fundraising activity as volunteerism
