Become a Peer Sponsor: Intro to Military Transition Support at Coursera Course details
- The Department of Veterans Affairs Veteran Sponsorship Initiative (VSI) provides manualized, certification training to individuals interested in supporting service members and veterans as they transition from military service. The VSI is an evidence-based program designed to reduce transition stressors by matching service members with a community-based sponsor who helps them rejoin their civilian communities by assisting with housing, employment, educational opportunities, and access to mental health support. Participating in this course will equip you with the foundational skills needed to best support military service members and veterans in their transition journey.
