Volunteer Opportunities


“I ask America, young and old alike, to dedicate at least two years of your life, 4,000 hours over your lifetime, to service to your fellow man, to service to your nation, by serving somebody else.”
- President Bush

There are many Fort Monroe military, family members and Army civilians already dedicating numerous hours in the Hampton Roads area schools. We are very grateful, and the schools appreciate it. Please keep doing it. Volunteer community service from Fort Monroe connected personnel play a great part in the continuation of the excellent rapport and cooperation we enjoy with our schools.

But some of you are asking: “What can I do to help?” Each of us are responsible for the decisions we make in life. If we have children, of course we are responsible for loving the child. If you're in a community (such as the Fort Monroe community), you have a responsibility of loving your fellow man, just like you'd like to be loved yourself.

Among the ways you can help are to become a student’s mentor, provide much needed assistance to the teacher in the classroom, or help the schools with providing youth knowledge your education, occupation and hobbies have enabled you to attain. Tutors at all grades and subjects are always welcome. Unfortunately, many of our area schools suffer from a lack of parental involvement, and a number of students come from homes with very low education and economic levels. The positive educational and moral reinforcement Fort Monroe personnel can provide is extremely valuable to students and the schools, and significantly personally rewarding are gratifying as well.

Anyone interested in volunteering in the schools is welcome to contact the Fort Monroe School Liaison Officer to discuss specific interests, visit the school office of your choice, or get in touch with any of the contacts that will be periodically updated on this webpage.
