Military - Clearwater, Florida, United States
ProVetus started in 2014 as Battle Buds to manage the mentor/mentee relationships that came about from a research study being conducted at Teacher's College - Columbia University and in Summer 2015, transitioned to become ProVetus. Today the organization provides support to military veterans as they transition into the civilian sector. ProVetus replicates services already provided in a similar system in the military (e.g., Total Transition Program) that assist every service member to successfully navigate a Permanent Change of Station. In this existing program, sponsors ensure that a service member fully transfers from one duty station to another within such critical domains as - employment/duty, housing, family, social/community and physical activities, and medical care. The sponsor does not provide services within each of the domains but instead offers support to the transferring service member and connects him or her to the organizations/individuals which do provide these services. Based on the ProVetus peer mentoring program the ETS Sponsorship Program (ETS-SP) was created to fulfill the need for sponsors and support for soldiers exiting the military (ETS). This program builds a much-needed bridge between the VA and the U.S. Army. The program provides the Soldier a real relationship with a Sponsor that is personal, connected, and meaningful.ProVetus has partnered with the ETS Sponsorship Program to serve as the Community Integration Coordinator (CIC). Throughout the journey with the transitioning service member, the sponsor, the ETS-SP leadership and ProVetus (CIC) will collectively serve as a network of support for our sponsors. Together they will help the sponsors build relationships with their service members, provide guidance along the way as well as a provide connections to local resources and referrals from the VA, state and local government and Veteran Service Organization providers. Sponsors are not alone!
