Causes: Military & Veterans Organizations, Veterans
Mission: Connecting the military civilians with one another in order to promote healthy living and help with skills that are not taught to those that get out. FreedomSystem.org has several programs that will help our Veterans from a martial arts program, that helps get veterans connected with other local veterans, to career and life skills that the military does not teach to their retirees and/or members that get out.
Results: We have been successful in helping Veterans get over anxiety, helping them with getting a job (and holding them), and increasing camaraderie around the veteran community.
Target demographics: Veterans reintegrate back into a civilian culture
Direct beneficiaries per year: 50 Veterans and their families
Geographic areas served: Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan
Programs: camaraderie and fitness programs, resume writing classes, interviewing tips and classes, free photography for Veteran's families and those that might need headshots, and help Veterans navigate the VA Health System in order to get better care for themselves.
