Telecommuter Appreciation Week

Here at the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes, we are incredibly thankful for the gift of telecommunication. Because of technology like remote work capabilities, we are able to make a difference in veteran families living across the nation! As the Coalition's unique internal employment program, Heroes Thanking Heroes has been telecommuting before it was commonplace. In fact, over 332+ wounded veterans and primary caregivers have worked remotely in HTH since 2006! Not only do our team members gain marketable skills in their 6-month transitional, flexible employment, but also support, camaraderie, and increased self-worth.

Check out these AMAZING team members below and hear what they have to say about working remotely with Heroes Thanking Heroes!

Working remotely means there are countless opportunities to balance work life, home life, and life outside of the home; like going to doctor appointments, children's activities, and other unforeseen events that I would have normally missed if I was not working from home. Having the flexibility to tend to my family is priceless, and working for a Non-Profit like the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes means that I get to work alongside an amazing, talented group of passionate people while serving our Veterans. What could possibly be better?
