June 2025 Volunteer of the Month - Jen

Introducing our Volunteer of the Month for June 2025: Jen!

From the moment she stepped onto Incirlik Air Base, Jen hit the ground running—and hasn’t stopped since. We met her during her first week at our bi-weekly Newcomers Welcome Lunch, and she’s quickly become an integral part of the family. In just her first month as a volunteer, she’s become a Lead Volunteer, joined not one but two committees, and continues to ask how she can be of more help. Her initiative and drive perfectly embody the USO core value of Mission First. Whether she’s supporting a center event or jumping into a last-minute task, Jen’s “how can I help?” attitude makes her a standout addition to our team.

Jen’s reliability and sense of accountability are unmatched. She completes taskers without ever needing to be asked and finds ways to improve the center with each shift she works. Whether it’s straightening up, restocking, or organizing behind the scenes, she keeps USO Incirlik running smoothly and looking amazing. And when we need extra hands at an event? Jen is one of the first to volunteer—even bringing new recruits with her!

Her positivity, energy, and team spirit bring the core value of Excellence to life. Jen lifts up everyone around her, helps foster new connections, and makes each visitor and volunteer feel like they belong. She’s been instrumental in shaping not only the environment of the center but also the culture of our volunteer community. We are incredibly lucky to have Jen as part of the USO Incirlik family, and we can’t wait to see the continued impact she’ll make. #theUSO
