USO Center at the San Diego International Airport Volunteer

The USO (United Service Organizations) mission statement is to strengthen America's military service members by keeping them connected to family, home, and country throughout their service to the nation. Since 1941, the USO has been the nation’s leading organization to serve the men and women in the U.S. military, and their families, throughout their time in uniform. From the moment they join, through their assignments and deployments, and as they transition back to their communities, the USO is always by their side. The Center Volunteer will assist with day-to-day operations, programs, events, and activities at the USO Center at the San Diego International Airport.
