Mission Statement

There are openings in the Bay Area community to volunteer/serve as a Board Member for the Selective Service! In the event of a military draft, local board members will decide who among the registrants receives deferments, postponements, or exemptions from military service based on a registrant’s personal circumstances or religious beliefs. Thank you for your support!
