Are You a Registered Volunteer?

Your dedication as a volunteer is essential to the strength and resilience of our community. The demand for volunteers has not decreased, and we want to ensure every hour you contribute is recognized. Many of our dedicated volunteers are not yet registered as statutory volunteers, which means the valuable time you contribute to our community isn’t being formally credited.

Why Make it Official?

By registering in the Volunteer Management Information System (VMIS), you can do more than track your hours. VMIS provides you with a comprehensive Volunteer Service Record that documents your volunteer hours, awards, training, and more!

Becoming a registered volunteer opens opportunities to:

  • Build your resume to enhance job or scholarship applications, 
  • Earn hours that contribute toward military promotion, 
  • Qualify for awards, certificates, and volunteer service ribbons,
  • Connect with new people and expand your professional circle.

How to Register

Per regulation AR 608-1 (para. 5-9n), all volunteers are required to use VMIS in order to volunteer with Fort Gordon. Getting started is simple:

1.    Register Online: Create your profile in the Volunteer Management System (VMIS) through the Army Family Web Portal (AFWP) at https://www.armyfamilywebportal.com.

2.    Complete the Paperwork: Fill out and sign a DD Form 2793 (Volunteer Agreement) and keep it on file.

3.    Attend Orientation: Sign up for an ACS Volunteer Orientation before you begin working in an approved volunteer position.

Ready to Get Started?

We offer a wide variety of volunteer opportunities to fit your schedule at Fort Gordon, including event-driven, seasonal, and weekend positions.

To learn more and get started, please join our Volunteer Orientation class, held on the first Thursday of every month from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM on MS Teams.

Reservations are required. Please contact us to reserve your spot and take the next step in your volunteer journey! We salute your heartfelt dedication and look forward to officially welcoming you to the Fort Gordon volunteer team.
