Over 150,000 servicemen and servicewomen pass though the doors of both USO San Diego facilities annually. Most just want to relax and enjoy friendly, familiar company. Many bring their families and friends and have traveled numerous miles from their homes.

By giving your time as a USO VOLUNTEER you have the opportunity to assist these individuals with directions and advice or merely with your company. To most servicemen and servicewomen of this country, San Diego is far from what they call home. As a USO VOLUNTEER you have the power to extend them a "touch of home" and help make San Diego a "home away from home."

Most importantly, USO Volunteers are individuals who want to give their most precious gift- their TIME, to help all active duty military people and their families!
