Greetings!
Home Again: Reaching Out is a program that utilizes the time and talent of CUNY student veterans to provide support to other student veterans. Many servicemembers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are enrolled in colleges within the CUNY system throughout New York. Some veterans may struggle to readjust to civilian, school and family life. Trouble focusing in school, navigating the GI bill, applying for benefits, coping with memories from war, and getting along with friends and family are all common challenges. Home Again Peer Advocates know what it’s like, and are able to reach out to other vets in a way that is comfortable, meaningful, and helpful. When in need of extra support, the Peer Advocates are able to help the veteran get the help they need.
