Veteran Resource Podcast

Author: Jeremy Paris interviews Veteran Non-profits each week

Veteran Resource Podcast was created to introduce veterans to Veteran Service Organizations. There are literally thousands of VSOs out there, each with a different mission. The one thing they have in common is that they want to help veterans in their own way. Some might help financially, some might help emotionally, some might help with homelessness, and others might help by providing the opportunity for veterans to serve their community and help others in need. Each week Jeremy will interview a different VSO to find out what their mission is, what projects they have going on, what challenges they face, and the type of veteran that is in their wheelhouse. With thousands of VSOs there has to be something out there for every veteran.
