From reaching out to walking alongside
Four simple steps. You stay in control the whole way.
STEP 1
Request a Mentor

STEP 3
First Check-in
You and your mentor meet — by phone, video, or in person — at a time that works for you.
STEP 4
Ongoing Support
Regular check-ins build trust. You set the pace. We're here for the long haul, not a quick fix.

What Peer Mentors Do
Three core ways you'll make a difference in a fellow veteran's life. (VTC = Veterans Treatment Court — a court-supervised program pairing veterans with peer mentors.)
Walk Alongside
Meet regularly with your mentee — in person, by phone, or video. Weekly check-ins build trust and accountability.
Show Up in Court
Attend occasional court hearings as a visible sign of support. Your presence matters to the judge and to your mentee.
Share Your Journey
You don't need all the answers. Your lived experience as a veteran is the most powerful tool you bring.
