GI Go Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization that assists with employment, housing, benefits, and more.
关于我们
GI Go Fund is a cutting-edge nonprofit organization that provides assistance to military veterans and their families by helping them find employment, access housing, and secure their education and health benefits. For employment, our organization works tirelessly to ensure that our veterans connect to opportunities that best fit their skills. We conduct career workshops in conjunction with Fortune 500 companies, as well as provide direct employment assistance and counseling to veterans looking for work. In addition, our organization has teamed up with JobPath, a job posting and training board exclusively for veterans, to help veterans connect to employment opportunities, improve their skills, and develop a custom veteran resume. GI Go Fund also works to make sure that all of our veterans get the care they deserve. We have fought to improve health care for our veterans, working with government leaders to help improve the VA healthcare system by giving veterans a way to choose their doctor. In addition, we work every day to inform and connect veterans to the benefits they are entitled to, making sure that every veteran has what they need. For our homeless veterans, GI Go Fund works to play a critical role in ending homelessness among veterans through strong outreach efforts like the Stand Down for Homeless Veterans and the Midnight Outreach event, where the most at-risk homeless veterans are provided essential services, food, clothing, and access to housing. The organization also works to provide direct support to homeless and at-risk veterans, including emergency financial assistance to veterans as well as gift cards to families in need during the holiday season.

Great clip shared by our partners at Bob Woodruff Foundation from the late great LtCol Justin Constantine sharing his story about his injury and the importance of asking for help. Take a few moments and listen to Justin's powerful message about the positivity that can come from having the strength to ask for help to overcome your mental health challenges. Justin continues to serve as a tremendous inspiration for our team here at JobPaths and for so many others. We are also proud to continue this effort through the Great Constantine Legacy Board. This board and its amazing members who each knew him well are committed to championing the causes he fought for throughout his life, including mental health awareness and support. We miss you every day, sir! Jack Fanous Dahlia Hamza Constantine Alexander Manis James Fanous GI Go Fund Todd Duso Marc Andersen Timothy Cochrane MGySgt John Escalante Christopher Hamilton Betty D.

We pay tribute to the brave men and women who were injured or made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our nation. ???? #PurpleHeartDay #HonorThem Justin, a United States Marine Corps Veteran and Reservist, was on what he calls a routine combat patrol in Iraq when he was suddenly hit behind his left ear by sniper fire. He went down immediately. “In fact, other Marines around me thought I was dead,” he says. “I’m only here because a young Navy corpsman showed amazing courage under fire and saved my life.” https://lnkd.in/emWpp5QM
Asking for help is a sign of strength

Our latest round of grants support: The California Conference for Equality and Justice (CCEJ)?Youth Leadership Programs, which includes summer retreats for middle and high school youth that raise awareness and empathy through group dialogues, team-building events and experiential activities. CASA Kane County’s?training programs for volunteers, expanding continuing education and engaging expert speakers that provide specialized knowledge on advocating for the best interests of children in cases of abuse, neglect and private guardianship within the juvenile court system.
