The Navy Office of Community Outreach (NAVCO) connects Americans with their Navy. With most of the Navy's personnel and equipment logically concentrated on America's coasts, NAVCO oversees a number of community outreach programs designed to bring America's Navy to cities throughout the country which do not enjoy a significant Navy presence.

Our nationally-scoped programs include

The Navy Week program, which brings Navy Sailors, equipment and displays to approximately 15 American cities each year for a week-long schedule of outreach engagements.
The Naval Aviation Outreach program, which facilitates performances by the Navy Blue Angels and arranges flyovers and static displays by operational aircraft.
The Navy Music and Special Unit Outreach program, which facilitates performances by Navy bands, color guards, drill teams and other units.
The Navy's national Speakers Bureau, which provides Navy speakers for organizations and events across the country.
The Executive Engagement Visit program, through which senior Navy Flag Officers and civilian leaders visit cities throughout the country for 2-3 days of high-level engagements.
The American Connections Media Outreach Program, which shares stories, photos and other content featuring Navy personnel with local media across America.

response to COVID-19

In accordance with Department of the Navy policy and guidance, as part of the national effort to mitigate the risks associated with COVID-19, the Navy Office of Community Outreach continues to monitor local restrictions and will abide by precautions in place at the time of outreach events. We will continue to work with our participating assets and our community partners to determine viability of each event, while charting the best way forward. If health conditions permit, outreach events will be conducted in accordance with the proposed schedule. Changes to the outreach schedule, including a shift to virtual events, will be made based on the latest guidance and precautions.
