VOLUNTEER

Make a difference. Become an Advisor.

You have the expertise. We have the tools.

Through the Heroes Network, volunteer Advisors are able to leverage their professional experience to help veterans, those serving, and their families navigate the civilian job market and build meaningful careers. Advisors provide a range of assistance from resume review and interview preparation to insights on companies, industry sectors, and private sector expectations.

Who can become an Advisor?

Anyone with experience working in the public and private sectors and a desire to connect with veterans should become an Advisor. Advisors come from all industries and are at any point in their careers. Our Heroes are looking for Advisors with diverse job functions—from engineers to marketers and beyond. Advisors can also be retired and ready to share their career-length knowledge. Although some Advisors are veterans themselves, no military experience is required. In fact, those that did not serve typically have more experience in the workforce and therefore have more to share.

BEING A HEROES NETWORK ADVISOR IS:

Flexible

Connect with your Heroes (Advisees) anytime, from anywhere. You can spend as much or as little time as you’d like volunteering based on your own needs and schedule.

And, you can connect to the network from your desk, your car, the beach, or wherever else you happen to be—as long as you can access the internet.

Safe

Heroes Linked ensures that your personal contact information is kept private at all times. All messages, phone calls, and video calls are funneled directly through the site, giving you the tools to maintain productive conversations and report abusive ones.
