  • Build Community Connections – Collaborate with military partners, local leaders, donors, and media to strengthen awareness and support for the USO.
  • Manage Resources – Track budgets, inventory, and donations with accuracy. Prepare reports and maintain standard operating procedures.
  • Support & Lead Volunteers – Recruit, train, and celebrate volunteers who power our mission. Communicate updates, schedule shifts, and help recognize achievements.

  • Strong multitasker—able to balance multiple priorities with accuracy and attention to detail.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and comfort with volunteer management systems / social media platforms. (Experience with Digital Cheetah a plus.)
  • Financial awareness : ability to handle donations, reconcile budgets, and track operational data.
  • Adaptable, collaborative, and motivated by mission-driven work.

  • Willingness to travel up to 25%.
  • Must be able to obtain necessary credentials to access USO locations and facilities (including background check).
