Since 1941, the USO has been the nation’s leading organization to serve the men and women in the U.S. military, and their families, throughout their time in uniform. From the moment they join, through their assignments and deployments, and as they transition back to their communities, the USO is always by their side.

Today’s USO continuously adapts to the needs of our men and women in uniform and their families, so they can focus on their very important mission. We operate USO centers at or near military installations across the United States and throughout the world, including in combat zones, and even un-staffed USO service sites in places too dangerous for anyone but combat troops to occupy.

USO airport centers throughout the country offer around-the clock hospitality for traveling service members and their families. Our trademark USO tours bring America and its celebrities to service members who are assigned far from home, to entertain them and convey the support of the nation. And our many specialized programs offer a continuum of support to service members throughout their journey of service, from the first time they don the uniform until the last time they take it off.

The USO is not part of the federal government. A congressionally chartered, private organization, the USO relies on the generosity of individuals, organizations and corporations to support its activities, and is powered by a family of volunteers to accomplish our mission of connection.

Who We Are

Here at the USO, we are mission-driven. We are committed to strengthening America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation.

Whether interacting face-to-face with service members at USO centers, planning entertainment tours or advising service members and their spouses on careers as they transition out of the military, our USO employees carry that mission with them in all that they do.

Our Mission

The USO strengthens America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation.

OUR MISSION. YOUR PASSION. A CAREER THAT MATTERS.

Start a rewarding career at the USO.
A career at the USO is unlike any other – it is the perfect intersection of work and passion. It is a career that matters. For over 77 years, the USO has been the nation’s leading organization to serve the men and women in the U.S. military, and their families, throughout their time in uniform. From the moment they join, through their assignments and deployments, and as they transition back to their communities, the USO is always by their side – and you can be a part of that. Do you want to join us in being a Force Behind the Forces?

Be a Force Behind the Forces®
Everyday, USO employees solve problems and improve lives. The work we do is meaningful. It’s challenging and it’s rewarding. We don’t do it for us, we do it for them.

The USO goes where the troops need us most
As a part of the USO team, you’ll be working on the front lines of supporting our nation’s military. USO employees work with, and for, service members, directly impacting the lives of the military and their families with their daily work and with their commitment to doing whatever is needed to get the job done.

Working for the USO is not for everyone. Days can be long, the locations remote (and occasionally dangerous) and you may sometimes be separated from friends and family, just like the troops you support. But at the end of the day, it is the work that keeps us going. Our entire organization’s culture is centered around the knowledge that our work is for our service members – and we carry that responsibility with us every day, in over 200 locations around the world.
