National Cemetery of the Alleghenies Volunteer Opportunities for 2026

The Pittsburgh Post provides support to the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies on a recurring basis throughout the year.  Specifically, the Cemetery staff can use assistance around the following Holidays to raise and lower the Flags along the Avenue of Heroes.

  • Memorial Day
  • Independence Day (July 4th)
  • National Day of Service (September 11th)
  • Veterans Day (November 11th)

Our Post has been directly supporting the Cemetery and their mission for well over a decade now.  We were one of the first organizations to provide a steady stream of volunteers after they had identified a need for volunteer assistance (with everything from flag raising, headstone maintenance, and other general assistance), and that’s something we should all be very proud of!

One need NOT be a member of the Post or any organization to volunteer. Please contact Rob Yauger if you are available and/or interested in volunteering: robert.h.yauger@usace.army.mil
