What VTC Mentors Do
Three core ways you'll make a difference in a fellow veteran's life.
Walk Alongside
Meet regularly with your mentee — in person, by phone, or video. Weekly check-ins build trust and accountability.
Show Up in Court
Attend occasional court hearings as a visible sign of support. Your presence matters to the judge and to your mentee.
Share Your Journey
You don't need all the answers. Your lived experience as a veteran is the most powerful tool you bring.

Veteran of any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces (including Guard/Reserve)
