Volunteer Opportunities

Across the globe Marines, Sailors, and their families are giving back. The volunteer program connects active duty personnel and their dependents, retirees, and DoD civilians with opportunities to make a difference.

We are team Beaufort – active, engaged volunteers focused on efforts that make a lasting, positive impact on the Tri-Command and the Lowcountry community.

In addition to improving the lives of others, the personal benefits of volunteering include:

Growing your personal and professional network
Discovering your passion
Developing your resume and standing out to potential employers

Learning new skills and gaining hands-on experience
Individual growth and increased self-confidence
Sense of personal fulfillment and satisfaction
