Project VetCare is a team of of Veterans and non-Veterans in New Hampshire launched in 2012 to help alleviate the problems that many Veterans face today. These include understanding, navigating, and gaining access to various resources available to them and their families. Many of these individuals “fall through the cracks”, and our organization aims to ensure that no Veteran is left behind.

This program provides high school students in the area an opportunity to meet and talk with individual veterans in a small classroom setting. The veterans talk about their military service and the students ask questions about their war experiences. Many local veterans, including Dartmouth faculty, students, and staff, have participated in making this program a tremendous success at Hanover and Lebanon High Schools. These discussion groups included all of the Social Studies classes, representing 95% of the student body.  The sharing of these experiences is informative and educational for the students and cathartic for the veterans.

If you are a veteran interested in volunteering please email projectvetcare@gmail.com

Dartmouth is proud to commemorate Veterans Day  with a series of events and programs scheduled from November 6th - November 11th, 2015.  Please see the full schedule at www.dartmouth.edu/veterans
