Navy Office of Community Outreach (NAVCO) is Chief of Information's (CHINFO) national community outreach field activity.
It serves as the central point of coordination for Navy community outreach programs throughout the continental U.S. with the exception of Fleet Concentration Areas and the Los Angeles and New York metropolitan areas. The goal of this coordination is to conduct and align national Navy image, awareness and branding efforts by coordinating existing assets for maximum community-relations impact.
The primary means of outreach is through Navy Weeks which work to bring a concentration of Navy assets and personnel to Middle America. This is done through utilizing several programs which include the Navy Speakers' Bureau, Navy Band support, Navy Aviation support, Caps For Kids program, media outreach, as well as coordinating with Ships and Submarines for namesake visits during the Navy Weeks.
