VOLUNTEERS – The Hilton Head Island and surrounding community is well known as a giving community.
With many affluent residents and second home owners as well as frequent visitors who are at a place in
their lives where they want and do "pay it forward." Our community steps up to volunteer time and
resources in truly meaningful ways.
A few examples: The first Volunteers in Medicine Clinic in the US was established on the Island over 20
years ago. Hundreds of retired doctors, nurses and medical staff volunteer their talents to provide free
and low cost medical services to those in need in our region. Over 100 community based charities benefit
from the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry as well as United Way of Beaufort County and its
cadre of thousands of volunteers and community support.
The University of South Carolina Beaufort’s (USCB’s) Hospitality Management School can provide a
skilled group of enthusiastic volunteers through USCB’s center for Event Management and Hospitality
Training. The Center has placed students at our 35 events since it opened in 2012, providing over 3,500
volunteer hours. USCB students also volunteer, man onsite research surveys and take active student intern
roles with many other local events such as the Concours d'Elegance, Wine and Food Festival, IMAGI-
NATION 2013, Recreation Center Events, Pedal 4 Kids, etc.
The Heritage Classic Foundation annually taps approximately 1,200 community and student volunteers to
support operations at the RBC Heritage. In addition, one of the United States greatest marine training
camps is just north of Hilton Head Island. The Marine Corps Recruit Depot located in Parris Island is another
resource for trusted and trained volunteers.
