Warriors A Team

Warriors A Team is a 501(c) non-profit dedicated to inspiring Veterans to assist Veterans as they acclimate from military life to a happy, productive, and proud civilian life. Are you aware that over the next 4 years the US Labor Department projects 1.5 million Veteran Warriors will exit a branch of our United States military. After spending years defending our liberties and protecting our way of life in a disciplined environment with a feeling of purpose, importance and respect, many of our Veterans find it very challenging reentering the civilian world. The unemployment rate for Veterans is 16% -- this is over 3 times the national rate. 76% of Veterans diagnosed with a disability believe their disability is currently preventing them from getting a job. Sadly, every month nearly 1,000 United States Veterans attempt to take their own lives and every hour of every day a Veteran takes his or her own life. More United States troops have died from suicide than have been killed in Afghanistan since 2001. This is a crisis that must be extinguished. Below are some of the services Warriors Support Services provides: - A Veteran mentor program. - Employment & Training (career counseling, resume building, interview training, and job placement). - Improved education (how to leverage their VA benefits to obtain a college degree or vocation certification, and veteran scholarships). - Health & Wellness (VA medical support, peer support groups, and substance abuse treatment). - Case Management (VA benefits counseling, transportation assistance, food pantry options, and clothing assistance). - Housing options (emergency, transitional, and long-term).
