Mission:

Our mission is to build partnerships with nonprofit and for-profit organizations at local, national, and international levels to bridge gaps between military, veteran, and civilian communities through volunteerism, community service, and acts of goodwill.

Vision:

We envision an organization rooted in authentic friendships and genuine camaraderie, where people come together with a shared purpose: to build stronger, more compassionate communities and inspire lasting social change. We believe in the power of human connection, collective kindness, and the unwavering commitment of individuals working side by side to make a meaningful difference.

Purpose:

We exist to promote volunteerism and support veterans and their families by combining our skills, talents, and connections in service to others. Through collaboration and shared purpose, we strive to set an example for the public that together, we can accomplish more and build stronger, more compassionate communities. Together, everyone achieves more!

At American Veterans Mission (AVM), we believe that communities thrive when people come together in service. No one understands service better than our veterans.
