Programs
4 programs
The Homefront Sentinel - A research and awareness initiative countering online threats to the veteran and military family community. Our programs identify and expose cyber and information operations, such as scams and nefarious influence campaigns, aimed at undermining trust and resilience from foreign adversaries and other bad online actors. Through education and community-building, The Homefront Sentinel strengthens defenses against malign influence and foreign interference.
Vetted Conversations - A platform that provides the opening for veterans and military family members to discuss American civics, patriotism, and citizen responsibilities in a non-partisan and accessible way. This initiative offers both in-person and remote discussions through community gatherings and a podcast series featuring prominent veteran leaders and national experts. Vetted Conversations equips the veteran and military family community with knowledge to become informed and engaged citizens actively participating in safeguarding American liberties and strengthening the fabric of America.
Vet the News - An apolitical program designed to increase confidence in American media and journalism by elevating veterans and military family members within the field, and helping place more military-connected individuals into newsrooms across the country. By curating and distributing their reporting and increasing access to related career pipelines for members of the veteran community, Vet the News offers the American public a first-of-its-kind credible, values-driven journalism hub from trusted voices who have served our nation.
Vet Public Service - By helping veterans and military family members find their calling beyond the military through fulfilling careers in public service, Vet Public Service creates pathways for veterans and military families to transition their service mindset and experience into civilian public service, strengthening both our community and America. Through partnerships with educational programs focused on public service, networking, career services, and mentorship opportunities, the Organization enhances the veteran and military family potentiality in public service.
