The Retiree Activities Office (RAO) provides current information and assistance to military retirees, their dependents and survivors who reside in the local RAO area of responsibility and coordinates retiree volunteer assistance to many base organizations.

tabRetiree Activities - Volunteer Opportunities Abound! 
Volunteers are needed! Service hours are flexible and can be served in several different venues at WPAFB. Volunteers can easily find a suitable "fit" for their interests or special skills. You can volunteer as little as a half day a week in one or more venues. RAO volunteers find their service is greatly appreciated and self fulfilling and easily make new friends.

Volunteers are always welcome to join the RAO team to work with other volunteers and active military and civilian personnel to provide assistance in solving personal problems. Volunteers should be retired military, dependents or survivors of military personnel and no less than 18 years old. 

Volunteer opportunities currently exist in the following areas:
RAO Main Office, Suite 203, Building 2, Area C; RAO desk and Atrium at Wright-Patterson Medical Center;  RAO Information Booth at the Commissary/BX; Medical Center; Kitty Hawk Pharmacy.

Assistance will be needed to plan and implement "Retirees Appreciation Day" in the fall.
