VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
The American Legion offers volunteer opportunities that fulfill needs in local communities throughout the country and beyond. The Legion and the Sons of The American Legion provide millions of hours of free community service, assistance at VA medical facilities and help at military installations each year.
YOUTH PROGRAMS
The American Legion has a proud tradition of supporting our nation’s youth. The organization was founded on the principle in 1919, when Children & Youth was declared one of the Legion’s four pillars. In the years since, a number of youth-oriented programs have been developed including Temporary Financial Assistance, Family Support Network and child safety and wellbeing programs.

"Being a part of the American Legion means a lot to me. It gets me in my heart. …I love The American Legion and that’s where I’ll always stay. My heart will always be there. It is an honor for me, to be a part of
The American Legion."
Patricia Harris
"It was about service, community, and commitment. Not only to the veterans but to the families. We are here to support your family, because we've been there, we know what it's like, and we know what we need to do to help you."
Jeff Daly
“It came down to when I went there (at the post), I felt a camaraderie and a place that’s kind of like home since I live so far away from my actual home.”
