Veterans Transition Support (VTS) is a passionate, all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in San Diego County, California, committed to supporting transitioning service members and veterans as they navigate the challenges of transitioning from military to civilian life.
The shift from military service to civilian life often comes with significant hurdles, including unemployment, homelessness, depression, marital issues, substance abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, and financial instability. Alarmingly, 22 veterans tragically lose their lives to suicide each day, often due to the lack of timely and effective support. For many, the battle doesn’t end when they leave the military—it transforms.
At VTS, we step in to fill the gaps during this crucial transition. Through our Military Transition Program, we bring veterans together to mentor and support one another. Our program includes:
- Veteran-Instructed Certification Courses
- Veterans Career Management Workshops
- Veterans Business Networking Mixers
- Veterans Benefits Guidance
These initiatives create a network of opportunity, connecting veterans with their peers, hiring managers, and companies actively seeking to employ veterans. Driven by the belief that no veteran should face these challenges alone, VTS provides mentorship, training, and networking resources to empower veterans to succeed in their civilian lives. At VTS, we honor the service of our nation’s heroes by equipping them with the tools and support they need to thrive.
