What is the Army Volunteer Corps (AVC)?
The AVC is a new way of thinking about volunteers and volunteering within the Army.  The AVC embraces existing volunteer programs, unites all volunteers who support Soldiers and Families, including the Active Force, National Guard, and Army Reserve, and formalizes the Army’s commitment to volunteerism.
  No matter where individuals volunteer in the Army community, they have the same goal.  People volunteer to contribute to the Army, to Soldiers, and to their Family members.  The intent of the AVC is to recognize this commonality of purpose among all Army volunteers and to instill the same pride in being an Army volunteer as they now have for the organization where they provide their service.
The establishment of the Army Volunteer Corps:

• Connects volunteers across organizations and Army Components

• Demonstrates the Army’s commitment to its volunteers

• Provides comprehensive, technically sophisticated training for staff

• Targets responses to the needs of the Soldiers and their Families

• Offers expert service and an increased orientation to volunteer service as part of personal and career development

How do I join the AVC?
There is no organization to join.  You are a member of the AVC when you volunteer for any organization that provides service to Soldiers and Families.
Army Volunteer Corps Mission Statement
Promote and strengthen volunteerism by uniting community volunteer efforts, supporting professional management, enhancing volunteer career mobility, and establishing volunteer partnerships to support individual personal growth and life-long volunteer commitment.
Army Volunteer Corps Vision Statement
A trained and resourced professional volunteer force supported by Army leadership and prepared to contribute to Army readiness and well-being.

Volunteer Management Information System (VMIS)
As of 2008, the Ft Campbell Army Volunteer Corps exclusively tracks volunteer hours by using only the Volunteer Management Information System (VMIS) on the web at www.myarmyonesource.com .   The system was developed to give the Army a real-time snapshot of volunteer activities at any given time, at any given installation.
What can VMIS do for volunteers?

• Search volunteer positions

• Apply for volunteer positions

• Add volunteer hours, training, and awards

• Centrally locate all volunteer positions

• Track total hours for volunteers for all organizations

• Create a volunteer resume and job skill builder

• Provide easy and efficient communication with volunteers and volunteer managers

• Provide a portal to Everyone Ready (a volunteer staff development plan)
