Selective Service System

San Francisco, CA
|
www.sss.gov/Volunteers/Board-Member-Program

    • Mission

    There are openings in the Bay Area community to volunteer/serve as a Board Member for the Selective Service! In the event of a military draft, local board members will decide who among the registrants receives deferments, postponements, or exemptions from military service based on a registrant’s personal circumstances or religious beliefs. Thank you for your support!

    About Us

    Local boards members are volunteers vetted and nominated by the CA State Governor’s office and appointed by the Director of the Selective Service System on behalf of the U.S. President. If selected, you may serve for up to 20 years.

    Board Member Requirements:

    * Be a US citizen and at least 18 years old

    * Men must have registered with Selective Service, except those born from March 29, 1957 through December 31, 1959

    * Must not be a member of law enforcement occupation as defined by Selective Service policy (example: police officer, judge, or lawyer with prosecuting authority)

    * Must not be an active or retired member of the Armed Forces, Reserves or National Guard

    * Must not have been convicted of any criminal offense

    * Complete an online, one-time initial board member training requirement (1-2hrs). In addition, you will be required to complete an online, continuation training requirement (45min-1hr) once a year. Both are self-paced.
