Mission and Values 

Mission and Values

We are an organization where people come first.  We don't limit our attention to any segment of the population -- we value those we serve, as well as those with whom we serve -- within our organization, in partner groups and among the civil authorities who invite us to support them.  By assisting with humility and showing compassion and joy in our work, we demonstrate a culture of service, wellness and care.


The primary mission of the U.S. Veteran Reserve Corps (U.S. VRC) is to deliver effective mission-ready packages for disaster preparedness and response.  We use the years of service, leadership, skill and expertise from both our veteran and professional members.  Drawing on the fraternal nature, dedication to purpose, and leadership skills inherent in a military and service-oriented community, the U.S. VRC provides a source of trained and ready volunteers eager to assist when needed.

Principles

The U.S. VRC operates as a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation.  As such, it is a military structured, uniformed, fraternal and service organization whose membership is comprised of those who have served honorably and steadfastly in, or retired from, the U.S. Armed Forces, State Defense Forces, federal, state, and local governments, as well as civilians with specialized professional skills, all of whom share an earnest desire to serve their communities and country.
