The Veterans Wooden Boat Workshop

The Veterans Wooden Boat Workshop is dedicated to the well-being of Veterans and Community through purpose, dignity, and respect. The vision of the Veterans Wooden Boat Workshop is a nationally recognized organization, that is steadfast on the reintegration of Veterans, inspiring selfless service and community involvement.

Founded by Veterans located in New York's Hudson Valley, they are dedicated to bringing much-needed programs into the area. This project is coordinated and led by Veteran volunteers and community leaders who donate their time and experience to help struggling Veterans reintegrate. The Catskills are home to over 12,000 veterans and their family members. While veterans do have some access to programs that assist in homelessness, substance abuse, employment, and other basic needs, there is a serious gap regarding the veteran's psychological well being. This Workshop is a program that integrates cognitive behavioral therapy techniques and access to support professionals to help Veterans successfully reintegrate into society as well teaching a viable skill in woodworking and watercraft.
