“Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in.”
National Volunteer Week is Celebrate Service – an opportunity to shine a light on the people and causes that inspire us to serve.

The Month of the Military Child is observed and celebrated in April each year to recognize and honor the sacrifice and resilience of children who grow up in military families.
Military children face unique challenges such as frequent moves, separation from parents, temporary duty assignments, and adapting and integrating into new schools and communities. The 2024 Month of the Military Child theme is: Military Youth and Children: Brave, Fearless and Resilient.
