Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) is a Department of Defense (DoD) military training opportunity that is a collaborative program that leverages military contributions and community resources to multiply value and cost savings for participants. Communities typically provide materials, volunteers & facilities, while military units contribute personnel and training resources. IRT missions produce mission ready forces, civil-military partnerships, and stronger communities.
We are looking for community member volunteers to assist at SUNY Broome. Each shift will require a team lead per station. If you are interested in becoming a team lead, please contact Maria at Mrodriguez@uwbroome.org.
