Iskashitaa Reaches Out to Veterans
The Mission Continues
Iskashitaa Refugee
Network is excited about our partnership with the Mission Continues. We
are able to host up to three post-9/11 veterans who will work half-time
for six months and earn a living stipend of approximately $900/ month.
Each Mission Continues Fellow will work with their choice of the
following programs: Harvesting, Sewing and Crafts, and Marketing. At
the culmination of their service with Iskashitaa, each Fellow will lead a
service project that unites veterans and the community. We are eager to
interview veterans who are interested in this opportunity for
experience working within the non-profit sector in Tucson.
On October 20, Iskashitaa will participate in Nam Jam, a family friendly music festival at Reid Park hosted by Vietnam-era veterans. Steve Kreamer, an event organizer, told Iskashitaa that he and his colleagues wish to assist post-9/11 veterans as they navigate the transition back to civilian life and the services available to them upon their return. It is Iskashitaa's desire to offer meaningful, life-changing employment to veterans and hope that Nam Jam will be a venue to make connections to veterans looking for work.
If you know a veteran who has served since September 11, 2001 and is looking for work in Tucson, please ask her or him to contact Natalie Brown at Natalie@iskashitaa.org.
