Over the last year the Veteran Resource Center at College of the Canyons (COC) served nearly 1,100 student veterans and their families. The Center does an excellent job of providing education services to include VA Education and Vocational Benefits. However, there are many students that start this process, but do not make it to successful completion. While some veterans may need additional military transitional services to be successful, many of those services are not readily available in the Santa Clarita Valley.  For the last several months, Chancellor’s Circle volunteers, Elliott and Judy Wolfe, have worked to form a partnership with USC’s Graduate School of Social Work veterans and military families program to bring graduate social work fieldwork students to COC’s Veterans Resource Center to offer social services, therapy and information and referral services to assist our veteran students. As part of this project, the Foundation has played a leadership effort in the formation of a community collaborative or coalition of Individuals, corporations, and non-profit organizations who are willing to exchange ideas, and offer whatever assistance is within their province, such as jobs, training, and housing for veterans.  Learn More about the Veteran’s Services at COC.
