British Royal Army Captain John Trotter returned from Afghanistan in 1851 and after that experience was convinced of the importance of gathering together with fellow military leaders for prayer and encouragement. What was known as the Officers' Christian Union was brought to the U.S. in 1939 and Captain Trotter's vision continues to be fulfilled through OCF USA. For more information, visit the Officer's Christian Fellowship website.

The city of Pensacola has a wide range of community outreach and support programs, tackling issues from hunger and affordable housing to substance recovery and mentorship. Being a civic-minded individual makes for a well-developed human being, and you might find that volunteering in community service is rewarding and enriching to your life. As you find yourself navigating this time in your life and career, consider carving time out to pay your good fortune forward to others who would benefit.
Big Brothers & Big Sisters of North West Florida: BB/BS provides long-term, one-to-one mentoring to children and youth ages 6-17 years of age from single parent homes who are in need of an adult role model. Mentors expose the child to positive new cultural, social, and educational experiences through agency programs and activities. The Goal of BB/BS is to assist our youth in achieving their highest potential as they grow to become responsible men and women. Volunteers must be willing to make a one year commitment to spend 3-7 hours per week in a mentoring relationship with a child.
For more information contact (850) 433-5437.
Habitat for Humanity: Pensacola HFH is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build and renovate decent, affordable housing. The houses then are sold to those in need at no profit and with no interest charged. Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses.

Humane Society of Pensacola: Do you have a few hours a week that you can give to our adorable dog and cat guests? If you do... we would like to speak with you! Because of our small staff, dedicated volunteers and community service workers are much needed and appreciated. A volunteer is an individual who loves animals and has a sincere desire to be of assistance to the center. Volunteers are needed to help socialize, exercise, play, bathe and groom, and help our animal guests prepare for adoption into a warm, loving home. They need concerned people to care for them, clean up after them, walk them, play with them and love them.
