Are you looking for a way to help service members prepare for their next career as they leave the military?
Do you live near a military base?
We are looking for folks who can go to a nearby base, and present to service members who are transitioning out. We provide the presentation. If you have other ideas of how to reach those service members (job fairs, etc.), we could use help there too!
