Airport Volunteer Group

AVG

The Airport Volunteer Group (AVG) is an all volunteer organization that was formed in December, 2011 to provide a presence at the Florence Municipal Airport. The primary tasks for these volunteers is to be a friendly face and greet pilots and their passengers at the airport; answering the airport office phone; and providing information and directions to local attractions. The volunteers are also the 'eyes and ears' in regards to monitoring airport operations and alerting City staff of potential safety, security or maintenance issues.

The AVG proudly maintains a presence at the airport eight hours a day, seven days per week.

There are no residency requirements to be a volunteer and no experience or knowledge of aircraft or airports is needed. The AVG is always looking for friendly, outgoing personalities to be part of the group. Typically, volunteers serve one day a month as the airport manager of the day.
