Volunteer Fund Mission Statement

The Volunteer Fund supports the USS Yorktown Foundation by resourcing volunteer selected projects designed to enhance the visitor experience and fulfill the vision to honor the past and inspire future generations.

Volunteer Fund Program

The USS Yorktown Foundation announces a new Volunteer Fund program, created by a team of Patriots Point volunteers. This restricted fund is dedicated to projects identified and designated by our Volunteer team, and is funded by tax deductible donations to the Foundation earmarked for the Volunteer Fund. The Volunteer Fund is directed by the Volunteer Fund Steering Committee (VFSC).
