Give Back
Veterans Volunteer
For nearly four decades, military veterans have donated their time and expertise to train and mentor the young adults of FCRC. We’re always looking for qualified volunteers.
Why Veterans Matter Here
FCRC isn’t a reenactment club — it’s a youth leadership program built on real military standards, taught by people who have lived them.
Veteran volunteers lead classroom blocks, supervise field training, coach fitness, and help riflemen understand what a military career — or a successful civilian life — actually looks like.
Our alumni network stays involved for years, helping every rifleman find their path in or out of uniform.
How You Can Help
We match your background and availability to what the post needs most.
Weekly Instruction
Teach or assist during Tuesday meetings (6–9 PM) at the Van Nuys National Guard Armory — classroom blocks, fitness, or hands-on skills.
Field Training
Support weekend field training exercises in Big Bear, the Mojave Desert, and partner military installations.
Mentorship
Talk with riflemen about careers, academies, enlistment, and life after high school — one conversation can change a trajectory.
Specialist Skills
Medical, communications, logistics, marksmanship safety officers, and other MOS-specific expertise is always valuable.
