Vet to Vet Maine

Vet to Vet Maine offers support, companionship, a friend who understands, and a link to services to lonely and socially isolated veterans. Vet to Vet Maine’s trained volunteers (who are veterans themselves) visit fellow veterans at least twice a month in their homes. For soldiers just returning from the battlefield, they provide a mentor who can help lead the way back to civilian life, a fellow soldier who has been there and understands, a friend who listens and offers a helping hand. For the older veteran dealing with illness, aging, the loss of a spouse, or other challenges, Vet to Vet Maine’s volunteers provide companionship, a link to the greater community, assistance in obtaining well-deserved benefits and services, and a friend who shares stories.

New for 2023! Online training available. No need to wait for a scheduled training session. Call now to sign up to be a Veteran Peer Companion. 

VET TO VET MAINE is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to serving veterans in the state of Maine. Formed in June 2018, Vet to Vet Maine matches volunteers who are veterans themselves with other veterans who need a friend and/or mentor. The two veterans visit on a regular basis, sharing stories, enjoying activities together, and developing a friendship that can last a lifetime. Trained volunteers also guide their veteran friends in applying for needed services and benefits.
