VVCAZ members together

Founded February 2018

Why we exist

Built on trust

“Trust is a huge thing in the military and it’s extremely hard for veterans to find trust in people as they make the transition into civilian life.”

VVCAZ is led by a veteran who knows how hard it can be to get back on your own two feet — and how pride stops many from asking for help. So we build the relationship first. When you trust someone, you ask them for help.
