Points of Light
A “point of light” (person who can guide them) are individuals within in their communities who are above and beyond, that can help us outreach, educate and inspire veterans to help elevate their issues. The point of light harnesses the principles of reality, which is looking at things as they are, identifying road blocks, and navigating a clear path around the obstacle so that their brothers and sisters can follow suit.

Points of Light
Love in action
Carita
Patriots...


Veteran leaders in specific communities who may or may not have an organization that have taken the role of leadership to direct guide and support veterans and their families for many many years
These individuals may or may not have education or a full understanding of the macro but they know without question their communities needs by interacting and advocating with and for individual veterans and their families.
They might sit on boards committees in VFW or American Legions.
The real go to people.


These individuals are points of light in outreach education and advocacy throughout individual neighborhoods and communities
If they each learn to utilize a POL portal (tier bronze)
the website could create a lot more fresh referrals and have significant impact within each individual community.
Pleasing our members and adhering to our mission.


By increasing these points of light organizing, training and guiding and integrating them into our fabric the Illinois joining forces outreach can reach and deliver pertinent information on a community by community and individual basis.
By mapping these points of light we can see easily our True boots on the ground to infiltrate and bring light to current areas of darkness.


These important areas of need also become quickly illuminated.


Culturally competent veteran services
Outreach education advocacy and service delivery on a peer to peer basis
