Support Naropa SVA: Empower Students and Student Veterans

The Student Veterans of America (SVA) is an organization dedicated to supporting and empowering student veterans through the reintegration process by facilitating success in higher education and beyond. SVA chapters, like the one at Naropa University, provide a supportive community and act as advocates for both students and student veterans on campus.

Your GoFundMe contribution to the SVA chapter at Naropa University will raise funds to support a variety of initiatives that will directly benefit students and student veterans. These funds will be allocated towards:

1. **Educational Resources:** The Naropa SVA is seeking a means to provide grants and scholarships to chapter members of Naropa University.

2. **Professional Development:** Facilitating workshops, guest lectures, and networking events to enhance career readiness and provide opportunities for growth and connections in members' chosen career fields.

3. **Community Building:** Organizing events and activities that foster a sense of camaraderie and mutual support among students and student veterans, helping build lasting relationships with local organizations with similar goals in mind.

4. **Mental Health and Wellness:** Providing resources and programs that address the mental health and well-being of student veterans, such as stress reduction workshops, mindfulness sessions, and access to counseling services from the VA.

5. **Conferences and Travel Expenses** There are four events held annually that SVA members are welcome to attend. Your financial contribution will allow for as many members to attend conferences such as Nationals, Regionals, Washington Week, and Leadership Institute.

6. **Student & Student Veteran Housing** With the support of donors like you, we look to provide affordable housing to members. We are looking to buy a sizable house for in-need members to live in during their time as a students. With your help, we can do just that!

By donating you are directly contributing to a vital support system that aids veterans and students in their pursuit of academic and personal success. Thank you for your generosity and commitment to empowering those who have served.
