Bridging the Military-Civilian Divide
While there are thousands of great organizations serving veterans across the country, one need in particular continues to go unmet: Veterans don’t feel connected to their civilian communities. Over half of veterans and military report feeling disconnected from the communities in which they live.
Likewise many civilians don’t want to SAY something—like “thanks for your service.” – they want to DO something. They want to give of themselves, in timeframes that work in their busy lives, and offer their knowledge and support when its needed.
VCC fills this gap; we’re the bridge across this civilian-military divide. We help veterans forge connections to community members AND we help Americans forge connections that help serve our veterans. Read our 2019 Annual Report HERE.
VCC topic areas 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?
