Military Lounge Volunteer Class

The Rhode Island Military Organization (RIMO) Military Lounge at T.F. Green Airport will be opening in the very near future and be the host to more than 10,000 Armed Forces members annually. This facility will have two managers and a staff of volunteers to attend to our customers’ needs. Built and appointed by volunteers and community donors, this space was graciously provided by the Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC), a proud supporter of military members and Veterans. This facility will provide refreshments, sundry items, entertainment, computer access and a respite for traveling military service members, Veterans and their families.

This facility will be staffed by community volunteers from numerous organizations or those individuals who just want to support our military in a small way. Volunteers are required to fill out the RIMO application, acquire a background check and go through a training class.  They will then be able to dictate the number of hours worked each month. We are looking for those who can dedicate 4 volunteer hours per month.  The success of this lounge will be in providing superior service to our clients who so deserve a special space for their dedication to our state and nation.
