Seeking Veterans interested in assisting OEF/OIF Service members throughout the deployment cycle

 

We are seeking veterans to help returning Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans link to financial, educational, health care and counseling resources when they return home.

No one can be a better source of support than a veteran who’s been there. If you have a passion for helping fellow veterans, are a good communicator, and are willing to donate your time to an amazing cause, the Buddy-to-Buddy Volunteer Veteran program is looking for you. We will provide training in communication skills and available community resources in Michigan. The time commitment required is a minimum of 2-3 hours per week and one weekend day per month. Responsibilities include presence at assigned Armories once per month on drill weekends, providing telephone support to military service members, bi-monthly support calls with other volunteers and presence at military events.

Please contact the Program Manager at buddytobuddyVVP@umich.edu to schedule an interview.
