VETERANS VOCATIONAL VILLAGE
Our Vision
The National Veterans Vocational Village (NV3) is a self-sustaining Vocational Training Center & Residential Village that educates, employs & houses veterans, transitioning them from military and first responder duties to civilian life, creating "Esprit De Corps" and building lifesaving, lasting connections.
To restore a sense of community and purpose and ignite HOPE among disabled and injured veterans as well as those with wounds that are not visible.
Ground Breaking Mission
Village ground-breaking is planned for 2025 coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Awareness and fundraising activities for between 40 and 2000 acres of land will precede ground-breaking.
