Grassroots Solutions through Easterseals

The needs of veterans and military families are evolving, not disappearing. That's why Easterseals specializes in identifying the needs of veterans and military families, particularly with employment, job training and support like family respite opportunities. We work to make solutions easily accessible in communities.

Our work in action

  • Advocacy & Education
Veterans and military families deserve services delivered in an appropriate, timely, and accessible manner. Our Washington, DC-based government relations team works to influence federal and state legislation affecting veterans and military families and actively engages with Congressional staff in pursuit of these goals.

  • Employment Programs and Job Training
Our employment programs provide the necessary tools to achieve and maintain meaningful employment and a steady income. We offer skills training, job search assistance, employment preparation and guidance. For example, we partner with the Direct Employers Association, which has a membership of about 800 employers who want to hire veterans and people with disabilities. Through this partnership, Easterseals is offering a job search portal at easterseals.jobs, which features job postings from these employers.

  • Military and Veterans Caregiver Services
We strive to ensure military caregivers can access what they need to take on the enormous responsibility of caregiving—often, while still needing to work, navigate family life and take care of themselves. We embrace and support military caregivers, particularly as they transition into this new experience, life-long trajectory and unfamiliar — yet vital role — within their families and communities.  

  • Veteran Community Services & Support
Veterans come home to their families and communities, so serving them must be a community undertaking. That's why, across the country, we are delivering services that veterans and military families need to live productive, successful lives.

  • Health and Wellness Programs
We aim to reach as many veterans and military families as possible to provide health resources and programs, including adult day and medical rehabilitation services.
