About Us

We are a federally recognized non-profit dedicated to improving the well-being of Veterans and their families.

Our two major focus areas are:

1. Provide person-centered support while collaborating with other Veteran Service organizations to enhance their capabilities.

2. Improve Community mental health by helping to grow the Certified Peer Specialist workforce by providing training scholarships for Veterans and family members and by co-hosting Mental Health and Wellness seminars with our partners.   

We believe that military experience instills unique values and skills in Veterans – values like service above self and a commitment to hard work and mission accomplishment; skills like attention to detail, problem-solving, and working in high-stress environments to meet strict deadlines.

At their best, Veterans can use their leadership, technical and entrepreneurial skills to help create productive lives and vibrant communities.
