TMCC Veterans Upward Bound Program

VUB at the VFW State Convention

Today, Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) had the privilege of participating in Truckee Meadows Community College's Disability Resource Fair and what a powerful reminder it was of why this work matters!

At VUB, we meet veterans exactly where they are. Many of the veterans we serve live with visible or invisible disabilities, and every single one of them brings strength, resilience, and a story worth honoring. Our job isn’t to “fix” anyone. It’s to open doors, build confidence, and help veterans find their next step with dignity and support.

Whether a veteran is navigating service‑connected disabilities, learning differences, mental health challenges, or simply trying to rebuild after transition, they belong here. They deserve access to education, resources, and a community that sees their potential.

Events like today’s fair remind us that disability is not a barrier to success. It’s part of the lived experience of so many in our veteran community, and VUB is proud to stand alongside them with compassion, advocacy, and practical tools for the journey ahead.

If you or a veteran you know could benefit from academic support, career exploration, or simply a team that believes in you, VUB is here.

You belong here, and together we rise.

Come say hello...
VA Hospital Wellness Fair until 2pm today

What an incredible day for our VUB participants at the University of Nevada Alumni Association - Veterans Alumni Chapter ENGAGE event on April 17th! We had the privilege of hearing Medal of Honor recipient Clint Romesha share his story. A message filled with courage, humility, and leadership that resonated deeply with everyone in the room.

Events like this remind us why community matters. When veterans come together to learn, connect, and support one another, something powerful happens. You can feel the strength and shared purpose.

We’re so proud of our VUB participants who showed up ready to engage, and we’re grateful to our partners for creating opportunities that uplift and empower Nevada’s veterans.

This was one of April’s standout moments and we’re excited for everything ahead.
