Our Mission

Build, in full and transparent partnership with others, a holistic world-class support service and network where U.S. servicewomen and women veterans are fully empowered to achieve their dreams and goals.    

Our Plan

Create a nationwide network of near-base and community-anchored women-centric service centers affording holistic hands-on support to frame, or reframe, and advance the civilian lives of our returning U.S. servicewomen and women veterans.

where and when

Our Request for YOUR  Action


We've decided ... it's Washington, D.C.:  Not an easy market in which to launch anything, but it is the nation's capital and home to powerful Federal, District, State, County, local and nonprofit resources passionately committed to America's military and veteran populations.  And the region, described locally as the DMV (District, Maryland, Virginia), is home to more than 72,000 women veterans and more than a dozen military installations.  It's a gamble, but we believe it's the place to start.  If you are a woman who wore a U.S. military uniform or know one in the DMV, we really want to hear from you, about you, and to include you in our plans.  Drop us a note below.


We're not here to replicate the work of others, but to integrate the best service and support by the best providers in the veteran service world; to create a women-centric space, a community in which all women who wear or have worn a US military uniform are able to access and receive the services and support needed to transition successfully to the very different civilian world. We are going to build a village, and it's going to take a village.  If you are a veteran-serving provider, we want to hear from you.  


YNS believes that our approach -- holistic, community-based and integrated with other partners -- will be substantially greater than the sum of its parts. We invite all who are interested in investing in a system designed to support our women to be in touch with us; to contribute to YourNexStage.  Our "when" depends upon all of you.

 

We're going to be a coffee-house with kids:  a holistic one-stop women-centric veteran service and support center launched first -- and humbly -- in Washington, D.C.  

Your Gift matters

Our goal

Ensure that every U.S. servicewoman has a female-friendly space and community forum in which to effectively move from the structure, unique culture, and personal impact of their time in military service to the differently structured, nonmilitary culture of the civilian world.  

Long Term Objectives

#activedurymom #son #hugs #happy #smiles #returninghome




Increase the self-identification rate of women who have served in the US military.    They are American Veterans.


Increase the public perception of women as veterans at the same magnitude as their male peers.



#servicewomeninthedesert #hillsofiraq #sunset #homelessness #substanceabuse #underemployment


Have a measurable positive impact on the lives of America's women warriors, as evidenced by dramatically reduced symptoms of             Transition Failure:

  • Reduced negative health impacts
  • Improved mental health
  • Reduced housing instability
  • Improved "right" employment and retention levels
  • Improved and sustained education placements
  • Improved levels of financial wellness


#drkate #USMCMP #equalrecognition #notinvisible #ilovemyrifle #team

Facilitate the evolution of a nationwide network of veteran-serving organizations with offerings and environments to more effectively meet the needs of women veterans.
