Get Involved
Volunteering is a great way to give back, "pay it forward," and make a lasting impact.
Volunteering is also a great opportunity for individuals to enhance their communication, leadership, and organizational skills, and it provides opportunities for making friends, developing skills, and finding employment.
Volunteers are crucial components to globally growing the WPAOG and USMA brands, and their dedication and commitment are what help the West Point Association of Graduates remain the leading, most powerful, and most highly connected alumni body in the world. Those interested in becoming more engaged have several options available to support the Academy, WPAOG, and the Long Gray Line (see below).
