Our Request for YOUR Action
We've decided ... it's the Capitol Region: 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 from every branch. 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 in "Contact Us" .
If you are a veteran-serving provider, we want to hear from you. 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 -- even in off-hours in a child-friendly environment -- to transition successfully to the very different civilian world. We are going to build a village, and it's going to take a village.
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 the nation's Capitol Region.
Increase the public perception of women as veterans at the same magnitude as their male peers.
#Not Invisible.
Increase the self-identification rate of women who have served in the US military. They are American Veterans.
#Not Ignored.
Measurably ...
Facilitate the evolution of a nationwide network of veteran-serving organizations with offerings and environments that more effectively meet the needs of women veterans.
We don't need to own it - just help build it.
#WomenVetsCount
