One Savvy Veteran

One Savvy Veteran is a non-profit organization founded by a woman veteran to meet the needs of fellow women warriors. Our mission is to encourage, educate and empower women veterans to successfully navigate the transition from military service to civilian life. We are a source of support, advocacy, assistance and access to veteran-specific information and resources for women veterans in Illinois. We have 3 Signature Programs:1. Combat to Chic Women Veteran Boutique - Our goal with this program is to enhance employment opportunities for women veterans by providing interview and workplace appropriate clothing, coupled with a personal stylist and coaching, to build self-confidence through appearance, interview preparation and sense of belonging at the workplace. Women Veterans shop the boutique for FREE!2. Monthly Vet Togethers - Community service, social and networking gatherings to foster camaraderie amongst women veterans. There is no better way to bring a community of women veterans together than by enabling them to serve alongside one another. This is why we have multiple service projects and volunteer opportunities for women veterans in the community. Our social events are fun and interactive while still allowing for networking and raising funds to aid women veterans in need.3. "Got Your 6" Emergency Assistance - Moments arise when you need your “battle buddy" to help you make it through a difficult time. One Savvy Veteran leaves no veteran behind.
