Boots to Heels/Attitudes and Attire
Boots to Heels addresses the unique needs of women in the military community: Active, Guard, Reserve, Veteran, Spouses of Veterans, and First Responders. The women have an opportunity to interact with others who face similar challenges transitioning from military life as veterans while reclaiming their self-esteem and finding their self-worth.
Boots to Shoes Foundation
The Boots to Shoes mission is to augment veterans support services for 21st century Veterans’ successful transition into civilian jobs. Through a combination of one-on-one meetings and phone conversations, a mentor provides business knowledge as a veteran plans and conducts a job search.
Gallant Few
The core focus of GallantFew is one-on-one mentoring by a veteran with a veteran. We share lessons learned on active duty, but traditional transition doesn’t share transition lessons learned. We want to change that, and we want to prevent veterans from becoming isolated and frustrated. You may feel that your thoughts, feelings and emotions are unique to you, but they aren’t.
Veteran Womens Enterprise Center
VWEC helps women veteran owned businesses scale for success through strategic alliances, leveraging public and private sector opportunities, advocating research, services and funding, as well as providing onsite resources for personal and professional success.
