Veteran Supplemental Support Network

VSSN's Pathways: Reentry to Purpose empowers justice-involved veterans and military-service-connected young adults (ages 17-26) to build meaningful careers in healthcare as Community Health Workers. Through trauma-informed stabilization, accredited training, paid internships, and job placement, VSSN guides participants from reentry to long-term employment, reducing recidivism while strengthening LA’s frontline health workforce.

VSSN's CLUES (Collaborative Learning for Urban Environmental Science) offers a specially designed creative arts certificate that increases learners' skillset and knowledge in the enviro-science industry. CLUES is designed to increase employment for artists within the green sector, especially those underserved military-connected people, ages 13-24 years old. Our LA education partners help learners wake up their human ingenuity by exploring urban habitats around them, becoming stewards of the environment, and entering creative career paths.
