Battle Buddy
A Battle Buddy Volunteer is a younger Veteran or Veteran-centric individual who visits and calls our Heroes to provide friendship and social interaction to decrease isolation, which results in improved mental well-being. The individuals Hero’s Bridge serve have various needs, some small and some substantial, and working with the Hero’s Bridge Team Volunteers may identify and secure services to improve the quality of life for each Veteran we serve. Volunteers choose if they would like to adopt Veterans to visit/call on a regular monthly or one-time only basis. Battle Buddies are required to briefly document Veteran interactions as well as hours volunteered using online software programs.
Training and ongoing support provided.
Locations Served: Nationwide **when the need becomes available**. The Counties of Fauquier, Culpeper, Rappahannock, Madison, and Orange in Virginia
