Community Outreach and Programs
Projects & Programs
We are excited to offer ongoing opportunities in which the public can participate as the Memorial continues to grow and develop. Our projects seek to enrich our community, as well as communities beyond Oro Valley.
We are proud to welcome the Police, Fire, First responders, American Legion Post 132 and VFW Post 12222 as valued collaborators in our year-round ceremonies. These organizations, with deep roots in honoring and supporting veterans, bring a rich tradition of service and respect to our memorial events. Their dedicated color guards and the solemn playing of Taps have become integral parts of our ceremonies, helping to preserve the memory and sacrifice of those who served. This collaboration strengthens our shared commitment to honoring heroes and connecting the community with their enduring legacy.
On-site Education at the Amphitheatre/Pavilion
The Memorial offers a variety of educational experiences in its intimate 200-seat amphitheater. Throughout the year, visitors can enjoy on-site and self-guided tours, presentations by community artists, leaders, and grade-specific learning programs. Additionally, community activities highlight the rich history of our past and present heroes. These events often take place in partnership with the Town of Oro Valley Art Tours—learn more at EXPLORE Oro Valley.

The Junior Ambassador Program is perfect for high school and college students looking for a community service project. Students can explore the various disciplines of the non-profit world through the AHM Junior Ambassador program. This program will be available in the Fall of 2025.
Youth and Adult Volunteer Program
A goal of the Memorial is to provide opportunities to instill a sense of hope and purpose for something larger than one’s self. Volunteer opportunities for youth and adults are coming soon.
