Support the VGJ


www.veteransgreenjobs.org

Our Mission

The Veterans Green-Jobs (VGJ) provides training opportunities for military veterans in the emerging green-collar jobs sector. Veterans Green-Jobs Training Program incorporates green-collar college programs, intensive residential training and veterans’ restoration corps. In addition, VGJ seeks to provide a wide range of complimentary resources to assist veterans in post-war civilian reintegration. VGJ will also link trained veterans to green businesses in search of new leaders through a national Green-Jobs Clearinghouse.

The VGJ addresses three primary needs:

• Military veterans' need for meaningful, restorative careers

• Our country's need for a green-collar workforce

• Veterans' and veterans organizations' needs for supporting post-war civilian reintegration


By supporting both veterans and the development of a green economy, the VGJ’s work is restorative to our veterans, our economy and our planet.
