Rally Point is a gathering arranged in conjunction with the U.S. Army’s Soldier For Life program. The Veterans Transition Success Coalition prepares transitioning military service members and their families to fully connect with civilian life, local community resources, and navigate earned benefits.
RP is for veterans and service members who are transitioning or have transitioned out of military service. Many of us hosting this event are military veterans or work with veteran-support groups in the area.
Come meet local veteran community groups like the USO, VFW, American Legion, Lions International, American GI Forum, and the Greater Houston Veterans Rotary Club. All of these groups will host booths to interface with everyone.
Gain insight on employment and veteran-related claims and benefits through talks with the Harris County Veteran Services Department, the VA - Houston, Christus Foundation, the American GI Forum.
We will have sessions on transitioning to civilian life that include:
Employment
Veteran real estate/loan programs
Financial Literacy
