Volunteers
Young Marine units are community-based programs lead by dedicated adult volunteers. Many of these volunteers are former, retired, active duty, or reserve Marines who believe passionately that the values they learned as Marines had a positive affect on them. It is through these caring adults that Young Marines learn the inner values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Adult volunteers are individually screened by the National Headquarters based on background information and recommendations provided with each person's registration.
We are looking to start a new Young Marine unit in any of the areas of Clayton, Loon Lake or Springdale. If anyone is interested in becoming an adult volunteer please contact Jesse or Laura Ferdig at 509-292-5173. Open positions include: Adjutant, Paymaster, Training Officer
