SERVING THOSE WHO SERVED OUR COUNTRY
Since 2012, VetsGarage has helped veterans succeed in the civilian world by offering a variety of vocational and educational training opportunities to assist them in transitioning to the next phase in their lives. In 2020, VetsGarage opened membership tiers to non-veterans as well.
VetsGarage offers a creative outlet, camaraderie, and opportunities to create interpersonal relationships with others who have similar life experiences.
Veterans can also receive referrals for therapeutic treatment for a variety of issues, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
VetsGarage does not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations.
