Northeast Florida

The Veterans Council of Duval County exists to cooperate with local, state and national social services and welfare agencies in programs relating to the welfare of veterans, military personnel and their dependents. The purposes and functions of the Veterans Council of Duval County Florida include: ​​

• To act a liaison between veteran serving organizations in the community and the City of Jacksonville's Military Affairs and Veterans Department (MAVD)
• To improve communication, coordination, and support between veteran serving organizations and the MAVD on matters affecting Veterans
• To aid and support the MAVD in the events, ceremonies, outreach activities and Veterans-related social services efforts
• To actively engage in providing support for area Veterans through events, fundraisers, and philanthropic efforts
• To plan, coordinate, and assist the City or others in establishing any other programs that may be deemed advisable by the Council in serving the best interests of the Veterans and military community and their dependents.

Northeast Florida Women Veterans is focused on ensuring women who have served on active duty, National Guard or Reserves and their children, transition into the civilian community with the tools they need to become self-sufficient. We operate a resource center to provide supportive and career services to women veterans and advocate for and promote community awareness of their challenges and accomplishments at the local, state and national level ensuring each has a voice.
 
Zahara Veterans Network, Inc. was established to serve the unique needs of Women Veterans and connect them to the resources needed to positively impact their families and communities. 
 
Operation New Uniform is a nonprofit organization, headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, committed to the professional success of veterans after service.
 
K9s for Warriors is dedicated to providing service canines to our Warriors suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury, and/or Military Sexual Trauma as a result of military service post-9/11. Their goal is to empower them to return to civilian life with dignity and independence. They are the nation's largest provider of service dogs for disabled American veterans.
 
Red Cross Reconnection Workshops are held in small groups and facilitated by licensed, trained Red Cross mental health professionals to help service members reconnect with their families and reintegrate into civilian life. The workshops are confidential and free of charge. For more information about holding a workshop for your family or other group, call the American Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces Service Center at (904) 246-1395.
 
Greater Jacksonville Area USO For almost 34 years, Jacksonville, Florida’s three local USO Centers in Duval County (Mayport USO Center, Naval Air Station Jacksonville USO Center, and the Jacksonville International Airport USO Welcome Center) have served our 250,000-plus active duty military population by offering the many programs of support to improve their quality of life and create that “Home Away from Home” environment in each of our Centers hosting thousands of visitors each year.
 
Greater Jacksonville Area USO Pathfinder Program supports service members and military spouses as they transition from the military to their future community.  Pathfinder Scouts work with service members 12 months before leaving the military and up to 12 months after separation or retirement. Scouts also work with military spouses through any transition during their family’s military career. Pathfinder Scouts work one-on-one with individuals to identify their personal and professional goals, create an Action Plan, and get connected to the resources that are the best fit for them, regardless of where they plan to call home.
 
Five Star Veteran Center is a nonprofit founded in March 2012 to assist veterans in need. We have a specific focus on veterans aged 22 - 55 suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injuries, Depression, Anxiety and other related mental health issues. The common goal for each veteran is re-integration into society. 

The Mission Continues is a national, nonpartisan nonprofit that empowers veterans to continue their service, and empowers communities with veteran talent, skills and preparedness to generate visible impact.  Veterans possess the drive and desire to serve others, but without access to the tools needed, their potential to make meaningful impact at the local level remains untapped. On the other end of the spectrum growing numbers of communities in this country are under-resourced and being left behind.  At The Mission Continues, we’re on a mission to connect veterans with under-resourced communities.  Our programs in cities across the country deploy veteran volunteers alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, increase access to parks and green spaces, foster neighborhood identity, and more.  Our vision is for all veterans with a desire to continue their service to be part of a movement to transform communities. 
 
Wounded Warrior Project is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization headquartered in Jacksonville with a mission to honor and empower wounded warriors who incur service-connected wounds, injuries and illnesses (physical or physiological) on or after September 11, 2001.

First Coast Honor Flight, Inc. First Coast Honor Flight is dedicated to serving Northeast Florida Veterans as part of the nationwide Honor Flight Network. The mission of Honor Flight is to transport elderly and ill Veterans to Washington, D.C., at no expense to them, to visit the monuments and memorials which honor their service and sacrifice, and enjoy once more the camaraderie of fellow Veterans. First Coast Honor Flight is a 501(c)3 nonprofit.

The concept of enrichment consists of three core components—health, people, and purpose—that comprise a rich life.
