Review for TeachAids, Stanford, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As a veteran I’m always looking to further the needs and ends of my fellow war fighters. I am proud to support TeachAids, as they are proud to support veterans. TeachAids has deftly tackled concussion and head injury awareness for veterans, not stopping at developing resources and handouts like other nonprofits, but really understanding the cultural issues standing in the way of meaningful change. For example, TeachAids has facilitated high level discussions on how to change the culture of the military in order to foster more transparent reporting, and more empathetic responses from ‘the system’. Without tackling cultural factors that limit adoption of the cutting edge research and tools TeachAids has likewise developed, it wouldn’t go anywhere. Some nonprofits develop materials, some try to address cultural change, none have executed on both fronts to the extent that TeachAids has repeatedly done. I know they don’t just focus on veterans, which makes the impact they have had on the veteran and military community all the more impressive. You want to know who’s a great nonprofit? TeachAids. From their founder, Piya, to their interns, everyone of them CARE about the work they do on a level that is truly impressive. I rated them 5 stars because I couldn’t rate them 10. Respectfully, holden (Afghan war vet, army infantryman)
