PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Army Volunteer Corps is a new way of thinking about volunteers and volunteering within the Army. It is an umbrella that encompasses all volunteers and all organizations supported by volunteers. No matter where individuals volunteer in the Army community, they have the same goal: to improve the quality of life for all community members.
The Humphreys Army Volunteer Corps office serves as the single point of contact for volunteerism on the installation. The Army Volunteer Corps Coordinator assists with providing information about current volunteer opportunities on the installation and in the area by helping with recruiting and directing prospective volunteers to potential volunteer openings. The Army Volunteer Corps office additionally coordinates installation volunteer recognition events such as the Volunteer of the Year and National Volunteer Week activities.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Volunteer Management Information System (VMIS) was developed to give the Army a real-time snapshot of volunteer activities at any given time and any given installation.
What can VMIS do for volunteers?

VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR CEREMONY / AWARDS
Volunteers are recognized for their valuable service throughout the year with ceremonies, certificates, luncheons, receptions and special achievement awards. The AVC office is the proponent for all volunteer awards within the installation, division and Department of the Army. Award recognition request/approval forms can be obtained at the AVC Office.
Organizations recognize volunteers at internal monthly and quarterly ceremonies. Each April during National Volunteer Week, USAG Humphreys recognizes its top volunteers that have been nominated by units, agencies and schools to be recognized at the annual installation Volunteer of the Year Award Ceremony. Annual installation recognition nominees will be derived only from the organizational quarterly awardees. Units, agencies and organizations are responsible for submitting their respective awardees from the previous calendar year for annual consideration to the AVCC. The six categories recognized at the Annual Volunteer of the Year Award Ceremony are: Active Duty, Civilian, Military Retiree, Korean National, Family Member, and Youth ages 18 & Under, with the “Overall USAG Humphreys Volunteer of the Year Winner” being derived from the six previous categories mentioned.
The Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal (MOVSM) recognizes those members of the Military (Active Duty, Reserve and National Guard) who perform substantial volunteer service to the local community above and beyond the duties required as a member of the United States Armed Forces. Such volunteer service must be made in a sustained and direct nature towards the civilian community, must be significant in nature to produce tangible results, and must reflect favorably on the military service and the United States Department of Defense. The definition of volunteer service is left intentionally vague, allowing for a wide variety of activities and volunteer duties which would qualify a service member for the MOVSM.
There is no specific time period to qualify for the MOVSM (for example, 500 hours of community service within 24 calendar months). Approval authorities will ensure the service to be honored merits the special recognition afforded by this medal. The MOVSM is intended to recognize exceptional community support over time and not a single act or achievement. Further, it is intended to honor direct support of community activities.
The MOVSM cannot be awarded more than once during a given duty assignment or tour of duty. It may be awarded posthumously, but is not authorized for presentation to foreign personnel.
More information about the MOVSM can be found in Army Regulation 600-8-22 starting on page 44. You can also view the MOVSM template on the HRC website.
There is also a video on ACS Humphrey’s Facebook page that provides more detail about the MOVSM.
