Peer Navigator for Veterans in Atlanta
 
 
 
Military Families and Veterans often have difficulty accessing benefits and assistance because the “system” is so complicated and confusing. Additionally, those with a military history report feeling misunderstood and unwelcome by mainstream social service organizations which don’t relate to the military culture. The CCUSA AmeriCorps Peer Navigator program rises to meet these challenges. Peer Navigators will meet one on one with veterans and military family members to provide "case management", that is help navigating complex social service systems so clients can access VA benefits and other assistance available from community based organizations. Applicants must be a veteran or an immediate family member of a veteran (spouse, brother, sister, father, mother, son, or daughter) to be eligible to serve as a Peer Navigator in this program.
