I left active duty after six years of service last summer and returned to NYC with little to no assistance, guidance or direction on how I can adapt to leading a civilian life again. In a very vulnerable time for me, the NYC Veterans Alliance and it's incredible staff introduced me to a passionate and caring environment where I found purpose again. From their advocacy work to their ongoing Mutual Aid program, the Alliance has dedicated themselves to the needs of the NYC veteran community, a passion I haven't seen before being a born and raised New Yorker. This is an organization you can count on.
