Make Calls To Support New Yorkers
Share Vital Resources with NYC Veterans
About Mission Vetcheck
The transition into civilian life can be highly challenging for veterans. Studies show 44-72% of veterans experience high stress in military-civilian transition, and half may not access resources post-service. The phone calls you will make help to connect, mobilize, and empower thousands of NYC veterans to lead healthy, purpose-driven lives. Most city agencies and non-profits do not have the manpower for such scaled outreach.
Program details:
- The project occurs virtually! You should be in a private, quiet location while making calls.
- Each project is 2 hours long, and follows a specific cadence:
- You will sign on to a Microsoft Teams Meeting with a Team Leader and other volunteers.
- You will break out into your CallHub sessions to place calls for 1 hour 30 mins. Afterward, you will return to the Microsoft Teams meeting to debrief with the Team Leader and volunteers.

- Access to a computer, headset, keyboard, and Chrome web browser.
