Volunteer Spotlight - Adriane Nelson

Today we shine the spotlight on Adriane Nelson!

Adriane has been a volunteer with MarineParents since July 2017. She holds the following positions with MarineParents.


Group Leader 3rd Bn Mike Company San Diego
Group Leader Region 6 South East
Assistant Group Leader Marine Parents Group
CR Assistant Coordinator Region 3

We asked Adriane to share her personal experience as a volunteer:

Why did you decide to volunteer with MarineParents?

"I decided to volunteer with Marine Parents because I wanted to give back. I would not have been as successful in the journey through boot camp without being connected to Marine Parents. I continue to volunteer in other groups besides the boot camp group because it is fun to connect with other Marine parents as they know the experience of being a Marine parent. I also enjoy connecting with others across the states and getting to know people. It is crazy to think that I will probably not ever meet these people in person but we share our life experiences together."

With 2790 volunteer hours since July 2017, we thank Adriane for her time and dedication to the members of our MarineParents groups! OOH-RAH!! MarineParents could not do this without our amazing volunteers!
