There are many opportunities for volunteer work in the
community. You can contact the Jacksonville-Onslow Volunteer Center
who recruits, trains and refers volunteers to non-profit and public agencies in
Onslow County. The Center works closely with the units aboard Camp Lejeune and
MCAS New River. The Volunteer Center also recognizes their
volunteers' contributions. Volunteering is an excellent way of
updating your job skills, acquiring new ones and giving you viable work
experience that can be put on your resume if/when you decide to search for a
paid position. Volunteer work may also lead to a paid position within
the volunteer organization and gives prospective employers the opportunity to
see what you can do.
You may also contact the installation
volunteer coordination for volunteer opportunities in the
community. See contacts/links for contact information.
