The Welcome Home Group is an organization of dedicated and passionate volunteers whose goal is to assist veterans and their families to find gainful, productive and rewarding employment by providing them with the tools and techniques required for the interview. We work with every veteran on an individual basis and stay with them from start to hire and beyond. Their success is our success. We are seeking community outreach volunteers in the local South Florida area to assist us in enhancing community awareness to the services we offer, free of charge, to our veterans and their families. Post flyers, attend related veteran events and meetings, make contacts, assist with events. Please contact us if you are interested in assisting us to assist our veterans. We, and they, cannot thank you enough.

Mission Statement
We leverage military success into rewarding civilian careers
Description
When a veteran returns home they often encounter difficulties in transitioning from a highly structured environment to situations that may involve complete chaos: families that are broken, homes that are coming apart, job loss and unemployment. For these and other reasons, many veterans end up living on the streets after serving our country.
Welcome Home Resumes, an Interactive Employment Program, was founded by Joseph Corsino after he encountered a group of such men who had become homeless. Having come from a family with a military service history, he was outraged by their plight and felt compelled to become involved and find a more effective way to assist the military veterans returning from active duty. After two years of researching the issue of veteran unemployment, he developed an interactive program that assists them in creating AND knowing their resume, training for job interviews, matching them with employment opportunities AND providing an on-going, continuous support system.
Be a part of this national effort and make a difference. Help the men and women of our military get their feet back on solid ground so they may stand with pride in the country they have served.
Together, We Can Do This!!
