Bridging the Military/Civilian Divide
VCC provides local residents with an avenue to share their expertise and knowledge about life in their community with veterans, military, and their families.
In doing so, local residents get to know their neighbors who served in uniform, and our veterans/military families access information and support that falls outside the realm of nonprofit/government resources. Examples include:
Neighborhoods & Recreation
What are the schools like in this neighborhood? Where can our family members get involved in sports?
Career Paths & Education
Can I talk to someone in the health field to find out if that career is really for me? I'd like to get some advice on majors/degrees?
Veteran/Military Discounts
What museums and venues offer discounts or special engagements for veterans and military families? Where can I get trusted car/home repair?
