Our Veteran Team (VT) Program has the dual intention of providing reintegration to civilian life for US and IDF veterans, as well as serving the needs of the Jewish community to have protectors dedicated to the safety of the Jewish people. Here, veterans are sponsored through a month of training and licensing, following which, participants work for us as guards who are hired in the community to protect schools, shuls, private events, and act as our armed response and patrol service in the La Brea area. This benefits the veterans from both a financial and a mental health aspect, as it allows for a healthier reintegration to civilian life. It also benefits the community by providing a significantly higher level of professionalism and security service than a standard, for profit company, without a higher cost.
Every year, hundreds of IDF Lone Soldiers and US service members return to the United States. They return to a world that is very different from the one they left. They are surrounded by those who cannot relate to their military experiences, and it is at this time that many veterans feel the MOST alone. Our soldiers are the most capable among us, but the structure, guidance, and direction are paramount for our returning warriors. The Magen Am Veterans Program will help our veterans build a strong foundation while allowing them to continue their sworn mission to defend our people. WE take care of our returning soldiers, while THEY continue to take care of us. TOGETHER we will ensure a safe and successful future for the Jewish people
