SEEKING Veterans to help veterans link to financial, educational, health care and other community resources when they return home.
If you have a passion for helping fellow veterans, are a good communicator, and are willing to donate your time to an amazing cause, the Buddy-to-Buddy program is looking for you. Veterans with combat experience preferred but it not required. We will provide training on available community resources in Michigan. The time commitment required is a minimum of about 8 hours a month (if a veteran needs help) and if you are placed in an armory; one weekend day per month. Responsibilities include telephone support to military service members and presence at military events. Mileage and expenses are reimbursed.

Mission Statement
The Buddy-to-Buddy Volunteer Veteran Program provides peer support, and connections to viable resources to assist service members, veterans and military families with any needs.
Description
The Buddy-to-Buddy Volunteer Veteran Program is seeking Veterans to help military service members and veterans find financial, educational, health care and counseling resources. Become a resource to other veterans anywhere in the State of Michigan.
Sometimes veterans do not seek care because of the stigma associated with asking for help. Buddy-to-Buddy pairs trained veterans with military service members and current veterans to help identify resources they may need when adjusting to life outside the military community.
No one can be a better source of support than a veteran who has been there. If you have a passion for helping fellow veterans, are a good communicator, and are willing to donate your time to an amazing cause, the Buddy-to-Buddy program is looking for you.
We will provide training in communication skills and available community resources in Michigan. The time commitment is a minimum of about 1-2 hours per week. Responsibilities include telephone support to military service members and veterans, weekly call-in meetings and presence at military events. Mileage and expenses are reimbursed.
