Our 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 effect on them.
It is these caring adults that Young Marines learn the inner values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment.
Adult volunteers are individually screened by the National Headquarters.
