Why Join the SBCVC?
The Santa Barbara County Veterans Collaborative serves as a forum for veteran-serving organizations to:
- Foster communication.
- Build collaborative relationships.
- Facilitate identification of duplications and gaps in services.
- Encourage the development of informed services that improve veteran wellness.
The Collaborative does not serve veterans directly; rather, it brings veteran-serving organizations together to strengthen their collective impact. The majority of our participating agencies are direct service providers.
Benefits of Participation
- No dues or fees for participation.
- Participate in discussions relevant to veterans and local services.
- Access to presentations from Government officials and veteran-serving organizations.
- Share information about your organization’s events and services.
- Receive information relevant to your organization and the veteran community.
- Present your organization at a meeting to showcase how you help — a spotlight that builds referrals and new partnerships.
- Collaborate with veteran-serving organizations.
Regular attendance of monthly meetings is encouraged.
🎤 New participants get the mic
Every organization that joins is invited to present at one of our monthly convenings — a few minutes to introduce your team, show how you help veterans, and connect directly with the other services in the room. For smaller nonprofits — and anyone who wants to help but isn’t sure how to engage the other services — it’s the fastest way to build relationships and become part of the network.
