The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Volunteer Clearinghouse is a nationwide, toll free hotline number for individuals who are interested in volunteering their time with the Corps. By calling the hotline a potential volunteer can express interest in any Corps project nationwide. The Clearinghouse in turn gives the individual a point of contact for the area they have requested, as well as written information about volunteer opportunities there. Last year alone, 70,000 people gave of their time and talents to assist the Corps in recreation and natural resources management.

Callers should be ready to provide information about their interests, talents, and the locations they may want to volunteer.

The hotline serves as a match maker, pairing up skilled, enthusiastic workers with Corps employees who can use their services, providing both with a memorable experience. By providing such a valuable service, the Clearinghouse boosts the Corps of Engineers volunteer program as a whole.
