Key Volunteer Network

KVN Logo

The Key Volunteer Network is an offical Marine Corps Family Readiness program.  As a Commander's communication tool, the Key Volunteer Network supports the unit by keeping families of Marines better informed about the mission and tasks of that unit.  Commanders utilize the Key Volunteer Network to relay official command information and to support families through resource referrals.  The goal of the Key Volunteer Network is to help families acheive and maintain family readiness.  When Marines feel their families are supported, yet self-sufficient, they are better able to perform efficiently, effectively and safely. 

The Key Volunteer Network supports unit famlilies by:

  • Communicating official command information
  • Acting as a communication link between the command and families
  • Providing information through resource referrals

What are the qualities of an effective Key Volunteer?

  • Supportive of the USMC core values: honor, courage, commitment
  • Responsible and dependable
  • Respectful of confidientiality guidelines
  • Positive attitude about the USMC and the demands it places on Marine and families
  • Good role model

How can I become a trained Key Volunteer?

Marine Corps Family Team Building offers standardized Key Volunteer Training at the local installation level and on-line at https://www.marinenet.usmc.mil/portal/ .  Key Volunteer training is open to all Marine spouses.  Training is required for appointment by the unit Commander.  For more information about training opportunities and command appointment talk to the unit Family Readiness Officer or Key Volunteer Coordinator. 

Reserve Key Volunteer Networks

The Key Volunteer Network for the Reserve community faces unique challenges.  The families of a Reserve unit are often geographically dispersed with varying access to military resources.  The task of providing adequate communication and information and referral may require more volunteers than a unit whose families reside in one geographic area such as a Marine Corps installation.  Because of this challenge, Reserve unit commanding officers may appoint a parent of a unit Marine to serve as a Key Volunteer. These parents often have insight into local resources and assistance available to unit families.
