Empowering Veterans

For veterans, returning to civilian life is a difficult transition. Without a clear path to starting over, veterans are left with a lot of uncertainties. It is because of this unpredictable process that The Veterans Directory, a nonprofit for veterans by veterans, was created for veterans and their families.
The organization provides resources through a comprehensive, web-based directory of services, giving them access to a portal of support. Veterans can regain control of their life with available services at their fingertips.
Mission – To provide a comprehensive, user-friendly, web-based directory of services that benefits military Veterans and their families. To provide resources in the areas of health, wellness, education, employment, financial and legal support, housing in the Veteran community.
