American Legion Auxiliary
Patriotism and veterans advocacy are central to the American Legion Auxiliary. For over a century, we’ve served, educated, and supported our military.
Guided by Service Not Self, we are spouses, grandmothers, mothers, sisters, and female descendants of American Legion members—some of us are veterans, too.
Junior Auxiliary
Junior Auxiliary membership is open to girls from infancy through age 17. The Junior Activities program prepares girls to become active adult members of the organization by providing positive volunteer experiences that instill the ideals of the Auxiliary.
Many amateur radio operators use their training, skills, and equipment to provide communications during emergencies. Hams serve our communities when storms or other disasters damage critical communication infrastructure, including cell towers, and wired and wireless networks.
