Questions? We're here to help.

The project is intended for military recruits who may not have family or friends available to support them. Individuals may also inquire about helping a recruit, with appropriate permission.

The goal is to provide community support at no charge to recruits. Any proposed support offering should be clearly explained before participation.

The long-term mission is to welcome recruits across all U.S. military branches. Actual coverage will depend on volunteer availability and branch-specific policies.

The team hopes to coordinate attendance when volunteers are available and graduation or installation policies permit access. Attendance is not guaranteed.

Phone access is controlled by each training program. The organization cannot override restrictions or guarantee that a call can be arranged.

Submit an application through the Volunteer page. A team member can review your interests and explain the next steps when the program is operational.

No. Supportive people from different backgrounds may be able to contribute in meaningful ways.

Volunteers involved in direct support should complete appropriate verification, screening, and training before being approved for those activities.

Yes. Remote encouragement, letters, outreach, and organizational support may provide other opportunities.

Personal information submitted through the website should be used only for authorized program coordination and handled according to the site's privacy policy.

No official military endorsement or affiliation should be implied. No Empty Seat Project is an independent community initiative.

Visitors can use the Donate or Contact pages to learn about available ways to support the initiative. Donation availability and tax status should be described accurately.
