We are reaching-out to empower people in local communities throughout the USA to become involved in supporting our troops and helping needy veterans.

As a charity and NOT a for-profit business, NROTC is in constant need of individuals who believe strongly enough in our charitable activity, that they are willing to invest their time that would otherwise be spent pursuing other endeavors, to help us accomplish our mission!

Donations are the life's blood of every charity. Helping NROTC Fundraise is a great way to help and can actually be fun!

Most nonprofits rely on a dedicated team of volunteers and we are no different. WE NEED YOU TO HELP US DO WHAT WE DO!... AND DO MORE OF IT!... The more volunteers we have, the more we can accomplish!

There are many ways you can help NROTC... Let's examine a few:

Volunteer-From-Home Tele-Fundraiser: - THE BEST WAY TO HELP!!!... While fundraising by telephone is not something everyone wants to do or is cut-out to do, it is the best way we have found to raise the donation dollars which are vital to us continuing to carry-out our mission. For certain individuals with certain character traits, talking on the phone comes natural and volunteering on the phone can actually be fun!...

Local Community Activist/Display Table Volunteer: - OUR MOST POPULAR VOLUNTEER ACTIVITY!!!... We are seeking people who would enjoy setting-up a "Donation Table" and mixing with the public anywhere there is walkby traffic. This is a simple yet effective way to help us to build public awareness about The National Remember Our Troops Campaign in communities throughout the USA and gather much-needed grassroots monetary support to provide LOCAL programs and services. Passers-by will have an opportunity to personally sign a "Thank You For Your Service" card and include their personal notes of support and encouragement! NROTC then forwards these cards to deployed troops and hospitalized heroes.

Setup and Manage A Local Donation Box Route: - ANOTHER GREAT WAY TO HELP NROTC!!!... You will need your own transportation and depending on where you live, you should not have to drive more than 5 miles from home. We typically assign 25 Donation Boxes to each volunteer. Place your Donation Boxes at various business locations such as Beauty Salons, Doctor's offices, miscellaneous retail establishments etc., etc. After you have your placed your Donation Boxes, one day every week or two is all that is required.

Elementary School Outreach/Student Card Writing Project: We are looking for people who will contact elementary school, kindergarten and daycare administrators and/or teachers in their area to encourage them to have their students make hand-written "Thank You For Your Service" cards, that NROTC can then forward to troops who are serving overseas. These cards take on a very special meaning when very young students take the time to use crayons or colored pencils, glitter and glue to draw pictures on these cards. This is something easy and a GREAT THING for volunteers to do that DOES NOT involve fundraising. We would like be sending thousands of these cards from kids all over the country to deployed troops.

Finding people to to help with this program is of particular interest to us because according to IRS rules, NROTC can accept donated vehicles and in turn, give them to needy veterans. We can even give a boat to a wounded warrior to help them enjoy life a little. We are most interested in finding donated trailerable boats for this purpose.

Local Community Activist/Volunteer B2B Fundraiser: Travel from business to business locally in your community and get to meet business owners while briefly explaining NROTC's mission to those who are interested. We have an easy-to-follow flip-chart presentation kit that you carry with you. This is also a great way to fundraise for NROTC.

These Chapters are being setup so that NROTC can have even more impact in local communities and expand on what we do. We are looking for certain highly motivated take-charge type volunteers to step-up as Chapter Leaders. The Chapter Leader will be responsible for recruiting and working with other Volunteer Coordinators and all sorts of Volunteers within the geographic limits of each Chapter.

Local Community Activist/"Gold Star Service Banner Presenter": Part of NROTC's ongoing mission is to present a Gold Star Service Banner to the family of a servicemember who has recently died while serving our country.

This very brief presentation must be conducted with the utmost respect for the lost servicemember and family, extreme sincerity and professionalism. It takes a special person.
