The
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Volunteer Clearinghouse is a nationwide,
toll free hotline number for individuals who are interested in volunteering
their time with the Corps. By calling the hotline a potential volunteer
can express interest in any Corps project nationwide. The Clearinghouse
in turn gives the individual a point of contact for the area they
have requested, as well as written information about volunteer opportunities
there. Last year alone, 70,000 people gave of their time and talents
to assist the Corps in recreation and natural resources management.
Callers should be ready to provide information about their interests,
talents, and the locations they may want to volunteer.
The hotline serves as a matchmaker, pairing up skilled, enthusiastic
workers with Corps employees who can use their services, providing
both with a memorable experience. By providing such a valuable service,
the Clearinghouse boosts the Corps of Engineers volunteer program
as a whole.
