Founded in 2009 Organization Statement/ Mission Statement: Compton Veterans at its heart is much more than just a veteran's service organization. Compton Veterans is a tight knit unit whose mission revolves around improving the quality of life for fellow veterans, their families and our neighbors in the community. Our work focuses on assisting the reintegration of military members who are returning to their community after their tour of duty. By helping these veteran’s build upon the skills and experiences before, during and after their military service we empower them and help position them as a community resource. The organization at its roots was founded by two Marines who served together during multiple combat deployments and returned home sharing the same vision of uniting Veterans with their surrounding communities and in turn ushering in a new generation of Veterans that are not afraid to face the obstacles faced during the transition from military warrior to community warrior. By doing so veterans will bring a positive and much needed change to their own lives while providing them an opportunity to help improve their immediate community and its surroundings.
