We Need You!

Both the U.S. Army Women’s Foundation and the U.S. Army Women’s Museum depend on volunteers.  While some activities require physical presence many others can be done from a distance.  Are you an Army woman veteran or are you interested in assisting the Foundation or the Museum?  Please read on!

The Foundation

The U.S. Army Women’s Foundation works to increase recognition of Army women and to support the U.S. Army Women’s Museum.  We are scattered across the country and do our work through email, telephone, and at face-to-face meetings. You don’t have to live in the Fort Lee or Washington, D.C. areas to help! We’re looking for volunteers for the following programs:

Tell Your Story, the oral history program – We’re looking for Foundation supporters to record oral history interviews with Army women.  We provide training, equipment if needed, and detailed step-by-step instructions.  Volunteers will record the experiences of both Army women veterans and women who are on active duty.  The completed interviews are sent to the U.S. Army Women’s Museum where they will become part of the oral history archives.

Foundation Supporters – Our drive to increase the Foundation’s supporters will kick off in 2007.  We have exciting programs that will only get better as we are joined by new Army women supporters.  You may know men or women that you can recommend.  Perhaps you can host a membership drive event.  Either way, we would appreciate your efforts to help us grow.  See our Foundation supporters’ page for more information. 

The Outreach Speaker’s Kits (under development) will give you the background you need to tell the story of Army women in your own community.  More information is available on our Outreach page. 

Reunion 2007 – We will be going to Branson, Missouri for our 2007 Reunion.  Specifics are posted on our Events page.  There will be volunteer opportunities will that will take just a couple of hours and can be done right along with your friends.  Specific volunteer needs will be posted on both this page and at the Reunion page.

Please check back frequently to see how else you can support the Foundation. Share your time and talents with us.

The Museum

The U.S. Army Women’s Museum has amazing stories to tell and a rich archival collection available by appointment o researchers and the general public.  As with most museums, there is more to do than the staff can handle, and there are many volunteer opportunities.  You can help!  While military experience is helpful, it is not required to support the Museum’s programs.  The Museum staff will provide training.  Please visit their web site at: www.awm.lee.army.mil to see what volunteer opportunities are available for you.
