Volunteer Openings

We have the following Volunteer Opportunities available. All interested persons please read the following on what you will need to do to get started volunteering with us.

1. Create an account within our portal (this will be needed before the following steps, if you are already registered, ignore this step). You must be registered so you can blog, write reviews, as well as communicate with other staff members (once the agreement is returned, you will be "promoted" to staff member.)
2. Next, fill out and sign the volunteer agreement and mail it back to the address listed in the agreement
3. Fill out the form located HERE. All fields are required.
4. A reply will be sent to you letting you know we received the e-mail.
5. Wait for us to receive your agreement in the mail. Once received we will e-mail you welcoming you to the family and giving you your usmchangout.com e-mail address and password (you will be able to change the password) so you can access your new e-mail account with us.

Positions remain open until filled (positions close after we have received the volunteer agreement back). All volunteers receive their own usmchangout.com e-mail address and may from time to time receive promotional items to pass out through their community.

Even if a position has been filled, we suggest you go ahead and fill out the form and send it in. We will hold on to your volunteer agreement for future positions as they become available.

If you are looking to make a monetary donation, then please see our donation page. Thanks!
