How will my time touch lives?

Volunteer staff are the heart of USO San Diego, and there are many tasks to be done.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 opportu nity to assist these individuals with directions and advice or merely with your company.
