Special Project: “Veteran Business Owners Initiative/Association” (VBOI/A)
Service members who are trying to make their way back to civilian life are often faced with “under employment” meaning that their military skills are not utilized and they have to take jobs which pay much less than these heroes could be paid because they lack a traditional degree or their skills don’t translate into a civilian job. Because of this, business ownership is sometimes their best option to creating a meaningful career path. The VBOI provides free education to service members and Veterans who wish to take that leap as an entrepreneur. Their future literally can depend on the VBOI to provide the necessary skills to help them become SUCCESSFUL business owners as well as provide micro loans to get them started. The goal is to raise $10,000! Please make every effort to do a fundraiser at your Auxiliary/Post for this very worthy effort!
