About Us
What We Do
For Americans who feel let down by their elected leaders, discounted by the political process, and/or helpless to impact change, CVA offers an avenue to be heard, serve your community, and help empower your fellow Americans to drive liberty-based solutions and advance freedom. CVA believes veterans and their communities are a positive force to lead on and tackle the challenges America faces. As we build engaged communities of veterans, neighbors, and families, we embrace our shared respect for each other to inspire action, elevate our unique perspectives, and amplify concerned voices at all levels to help improve American lives.
Who We Are
We are veterans from every branch of uniformed services and every conflict from World War II to the Global War on Terror. We are the families of those who have proudly worn the uniform. We are patriotic citizens who value America’s ideals and are concerned about the fate of our country. We come from all walks of life and live in every community across America.
“In leaving the Coast Guard, I lost an environment of structure, purpose, and shared ideals. Through CVA, I’ve found a renewed opportunity to serve America in a community that restored my sense of purpose. Amplifying the voices of fellow veterans has given new life to my desire to serve America.”
“After my experience with the VA and realizing many others had similar struggles. I wanted to be part of the solution. CVA gave me that chance. It offers the same camaraderie I felt in the service and empowers veterans like me to lead, speak up, and push for real change that helps veterans and all Americans.”
“I believe through CVA, I’m empowering others to be victors, not victims. And it’s not just veterans but all Americans, because [the issues CVA is addressing] are issues affecting our whole community, not just veterans.”
“I served in the Air Force for 10 years, and it wasn’t until I found CVA that I started seeing myself as a veteran. They saw me as part of the solution, not a problem to be solved for, and provided a way for me to leverage my experiences to continue giving back to the country.”
