Volunteer Management Information System (VMIS)

The Volunteer Management Information System was developed to give the Army a real-time snapshot of volunteer activities at any given time, at any given installation. VMIS provides all of the tools needed to track AVC volunteer hours, manage and track volunteers, post open positions, print reports, and much more. All volunteer hours will be tracked through the VMIS System. You may visit www.myarmylifetoo.com for additional information on this new system. For further information, please call the Army Volunteer Corps office at 286-5913 or 287-8657. Stay tuned for further information.
