About this organization
Mission
Leave No Veteran Behind is a 501(c)3 non-profit social venture that invests in veterans to build better communities through employment training, transitional jobs, and our veteran educational debt relief scholarship. Leave No Veteran Behind invests in heroes who have served their country honorably and who seek to continue their service as assets in communities across America.
About
Services provided to the community through a partnership with Chicago Public Schools, Leave No Veteran Behind provides safe passage services to students attending schools in communities at risk to violence. Through a partnership with the Department of Family and Support Services, Leave No Veteran Behind offers to expand the program's scope and offer year-round STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) based career paid apprenticeships for youth and paid teaching positions for veterans who already possess military taught technical skills through a transitional employment program, Chicago STEAM Corps. This program produces entrepreneurial, skilled laborers who understand the entire engineering process, from the research and development phase, to application of the design process (e.g. creating and testing a prototype), and can then go on to apply the scientific method in high end manufacturing jobs.
