description
AMVETS (American Veterans) is a national veterans service organization that provides advocacy, benefits assistance and community programs for U.S. military veterans and their families. The organization helps veterans file VA claims, offers employment and career-center assistance, and administers educational scholarships. AMVETS also coordinates voluntary services and community outreach, provides military funeral honors, and runs programmatic initiatives such as Americanism and veteran-focused events (e.g., Rolling to Remember).
AMVETS is organized through local posts and supporting branches (Auxiliary, Sons of AMVETS, Riders, etc.), and operates national and regional headquarters and a family services center. The organization maintains resources for finding local posts and for contacting national offices to access services and program information.
