I volunteer with Team Rubicon, even assuming volunteer leadership positions at different points , but their national leadership has issues that irritate me. I still love the local events, spending time with other veteran volunteers. I’m looking for other organizations that might be worthwhile to spread my time around a bit.

Service to School is a great org - helps folks into college through 1:1 mentoring and they have direct relationships with a lot of great private and state schools. I’m a “S2S Ambassador” and help mentor folks on their college apps.

Second S2S. Also American Corporate Partners (ACP) is good for mentorship in the transition.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking something a bit more active - on a selfish level I kind of want a break from “business” types of things.

Can volunteer with the VA itself probably if that’s the case. I’m sure there are tons of opportunities there.
