Activities & Events for the Military & Veteran Community

As a small subset of the population that spans all demographic groups, meeting others with similar backgrounds can be challenging when returning home after military service.  Surrounding yourself with positive people, learning from the experiences of peers, sharing your knowledge and experiences with others, and engaging with the community are all critical components of proper reintegration.  And it’s fun.  Register for an activity below that’s of interest to you and give it a try!
