Founded in 2004, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) is a nonprofit, non-partisan organization focused on education and advocacy for returning veterans and their families. This project will undertake several key, State-level activities including convening and educating a statewide community of returning veterans around specific critical issues using both in-person and online outreach strategies.
IAVA will use the NYSHealth Statewide Needs Assessment of Returning Veterans and Their Families to identify and engage veterans and family members and translate key findings from the Needs Assessment findings into policy briefs and issue reports and disseminate to key stakeholders.
