DD Form 2793 Instructions

The information provided in the DoD Instruction 1100.21 implements policies and procedures for the acceptance and use of voluntary services in Department of Defense programs, as authorized by 10 U.S.C. 1588. The DD Form 2793 instructions described below were obtained from the manual released on March 11, 2002.

The DD 2793 Form consists of four sections or parts:

1. Section I requires general personal information about the applicant: their name, age, telephone number and e-mail. If the volunteer is under the age of 18, the form must be filled by parent or guardian and the name of the parent or guardian must be provided in the same section.
2. Section II is filed by the accepting official. It contains the information about the organization, unit, schedule, working days and hours and a description of services the volunteer will be providing.
3. Section III is used for volunteer certification. The part is signed by the individual or guardian stating that their services (or the services of the minor child they are representing) are being provided as a volunteer and not as an employee of the United States Government or any of its Agencies.
4. Section IV is to be filled out by the end of the volunteer's service and signed by the volunteer, legal guardian, and supervisor. It states the amount of time donated to volunteering, the end date of service and signatures of all parties.
