Fresh Start 4 Vets
We are here to help our Homeless Vets!
 
Fresh Start 4 Vets seeks to employ homeless Veterans by providing paid training in Customer Service, Basic Computer, OSHA, Facilities Maintenance, and On-The-Job Training. Fresh Start 4 Vets is designed for Veterans who are homeless, Veterans who are at risk of homelessness, or Veterans who are transitioning out of incarceration. Participants also receive coaching in job readiness, financial literacy, soft skills training and support services to ensure future success. Fresh Start 4 Vets serves the following counties: Brazos, Leon, Madison, Robertson, Burleson, Washington and Grimes. We are honored to serve our Veterans, because of their sacrifice for us!
