Volunteering with Selective Service

Looking for volunteer opportunities to serve your community and nation?

Become a Board Member for the Selective Service System and join the men and women who are closely connected to our nation’s defense helping to increase Selective Service registration awareness.

What is a Selective Service local Board?

Local Board Members play an important community role closely connected with our nation’s defense. In the event of a draft, approximately 2,000 Selective Service local boards would decide which registrants in their respective communities receive deferments, postponements, and/or exemptions based upon established criteria. Each local board consists of three or more members who are appointed by the President from recommendations made by the respective Governors or comparable executive officials.
