Focus
VSOC taps into the experiences of our nation's finest, while allowing them to continue to serve. Veterans are the demographic that meet at almost every intersection, and we come from a hierarchy that doesn't view race, color, religion, sex or creed, as a variable for helping.
By incorporating a multi-disciplinary approach, VSOC will address several underlying conditions that lead to gun violence and trauma. VSOC provides a holistic mentoring program that gives alternatives to at-risk youth and lowers their chance of recidivism.
Objective
VSOC will partner with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, the Cook County judicial system, institutions of higher-learning, employers, faith-based organizations, local and state politicians, U.S. military service members and veterans, governmental agencies, and other nonprofit organizations.
Veterans who are pursuing their educational and career goals are ideal to join VSOC. We welcome all educational focus areas (medical, law, social work, business, trades, education, etc.), professions, and branches of the armed forces to join. Non military-affiliated persons are also encouraged to join.
