From service to sidelines: how Veterans are finding purpose through officiating
Veterans in the United States are finding new purpose through sports officiating. Many struggle to adjust to civilian life after military service, missing the structure and camaraderie they once knew. A program is available to help fill this gap, bringing together the needs of Veterans and youth sports leagues facing an official shortage.
Further details about this opportunity, including free scholarships for Veterans and service members, can be found through the organization offering the program, with verification recommended by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
