Moving overseas can be challenging, but it can be harder for spouses to leave everything they’ve known and worked for. The Airman & Family Readiness Center (A&FRC) allows spouses to become a part of the community through volunteering. With multiple opportunities and agencies, there’s a place for everyone. It starts with wanting to make a difference and stepping up for the community. Potential volunteers can visit the A&FRC for a one-on-one that includes an initial assessment to identify their schedule availability, interests, experience and volunteer goals.

After taking the initial assessment, the A&FRC establishes connections based on your answers with the agencies on base where you can make the most impact. Some volunteer opportunities include organizing the loan locker, coupon corner, helping at the A&FRC, training services (CPR), medical facility positions and emergency communications messages casework. OTHER AGENCIES THAT OFFER VOLUNTEER WORK INCLUDE: • USO • American Red Cross Association • 374th Medical Wing
