About Us

THE NAVY LEAGUE MISSION:

  • ACTIVE-DUTY SUPPORT: Enhance the morale of local Marines and Sailors and their families through participation in national and council level programs.

  • ADVOCACY: Provide a powerful voice to educate the public and Congress on the importance of strong national sea services to our nation’s defense, well-being, and economic prosperity.

  • YOUTH LEADERSHIP: Support local youth character building programs, such as the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps, Junior ROTC and Young Marines, that expose young people to personal growth based on Honor, Courage, and Commitment.

THE YUMA COUNCIL:

Yuma’s Navy League Council was initially given its charter from national Navy League to serve all Yuma County in 1965, coinciding with the US Marines assuming control of the local military Air Station. Since our activation, we have had the honor to support League’s mission throughout our community as an Arizona and Federal 501(c)3 organization. We are sponsors of several active-duty commands and youth organizations. Check out our “Adopted Units” page!

Membership is open to everyone: Our Council is a blend of veterans and non-veterans alike. NEW! Active-duty personnel are now encouraged for US Navy League membership. Our shared goal is to support our sea service community and have fun doing it. Check out our Newsletter & History page!

A small group can make a difference. Examples of recent League community service:

  • Founder, Yuma’s annual Military Appreciation Day (Y-MAD)
  • Founder, Yuma’s Naval Sea Cadet Corps/Naval League Cadet program
  • Senior member, Yuma County’s Military Affairs Council (Y-MAC)
  • Lead Sponsor, USS Arizona 40 ft battleship replica restoration
  • Lead Sponsor, MCAS Yuma’s Memorial Wall to Marines and Sailors
  • Lead Sponsor, Tunnel to Towers 9-11 Mobile Exhibit Event (2023)

YOU ARE INVITED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
