From navigating VA systems to finding housing, jobs, and emotional support, WSC stands alongside veterans every step of the way.

Disability Benefits

Warrior Summit Coalition links veterans with disability support and services that are in need for disabled veterans to maintain a normal life – from connecting them with VA services and resources to locating crucial services that they can utilize in order to enrich their lives.

Education Benefits 

Warrior Summit Coalition assists veterans with their education benefits by helping veterans navigate through the VA process of getting their benefits started and offering low-cost recruitment and retention techniques for college campuses to utilize. We also assist with graduation and post-graduation services.  This is accomplished through workshops that focus on applying and understanding the VA benefit process, and training and consulting for college campuses on how to effectively outreach to the veteran community.
