Volunteer Expectations

Mission

Our volunteers fill 80 shifts per week across 4 centers focused upon 1 mission - serving those who serve us.  

Duties

Volunteer responsibilities include: greeting guests; stocking beverages and snacks; ensuring that the lounge is kept clean and neat; receiving and logging (and sometimes picking up within the airport) in-kind donations; accepting deliveries; assisting guests with various travel needs as situations occur; and opening and closing duties depending on shift times.

Most important duties of all, though, are pretty simple - smile and express appreciation for the sacrifice of our guests and their family members on behalf of our freedom.    

Shifts

Volunteers choose their schedules and location.  Some volunteers work a consistent weekly, bi-weekly or monthly schedule.  Others choose to “float” and sign up for open shifts as they become available.  Volunteers can also have a set schedule and add on additional shift coverage.
