Become an Ingalls Champion
Ingalls Champions is a volunteer program which gives you the opportunity to support special events and create memorable experiences. Volunteers will get a behind the scenes experience of these events, giving them an opportunity to network with other shipbuilders and be part of a collective effort to shine a light on the hard work our shipbuilders do each day.
Everyone on the Ingalls Champions volunteer team will be invited to take part in a special ceremony at the end of the year, where Volunteer of the Year and other acknowledgements will be presented.
