About Us

Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks. Veteran Females United emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support female veterans, and a desire for actions to speak louder than words.
 

Established in 2013 as a university student club, we’re an organization driven by progressive ideas, bold actions, and a strong foundation of support.
