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.
