Project Overview

Please disregard the time period of 6-9 weeks. The course of this project is estmated at 3-6 months. I need volunteers who are courageous, committed and truly willing to learn more about veteran homelessness and suicide epidemics going on amongst our heroes. You would engage companies and corporations; requesting in-kind donations and partnerships. You will mostly email the companies and call only when necessary. Veteran Connection desperately need housing and transportation resources to help at-risk veterans and their families. We collaboratively work with other veteran services, including the VA to assist homeless and at-risk veterans and their families. We are a small grassroots organization, with very big hearts and true love for all veterans. Although there's many services and programs out there, way to many gaps exists. Barriers such as eras of service, discharge rating and income keep our treasured veterans in distress and not fully supported by the country they swore to protect and defend. You must not need constant supervision, be open to learning and communication skills is a must. Also, you will work on a team with project managers.
You will receive on boarding paperwork, and a proposal to review..

Nonprofit Overview

Our ultimate goal at Veteran Connection is to help end the current homeless epidemic going on across the nation. We focus on veterans who are homeless by assisting them in gaining stability, life skills and personal and professional development. At Veteran Connection, we strive to provide home assistance, educational and employment resources and referrals, and many other programs for all our heroes, especially those who are homeless, disadvantaged, and have little or no income or even exceed income guidelines. These are our heroes who have risked their lives for our freedom and deserve all the support they need. We utilize all resources possible to help fill in the gaps left by other service organizations that help veterans, service members, and their families to improve their lives.
