Benefits of Membership
IAVA is free. We get things done. And with you in our ranks, we can achieve so much more.
You heard that right - IAVA membership is free. 100% free. You already paid your dues in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Second, IAVA gets things done. From uniting our community to being a force on Capitol Hill, IAVA is making things happen.
And we’re the largest community of Iraq and Afghanistan vets in the country. The larger we grow the movement, the stronger we become. And that means we can better reach and deliver services, resources and support to the 2.4 million veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.
- Join IAVA today. Membership is free – and it always will be.
- Connect with the largest community of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans through our vets-only online social network, Community of Veterans.
- Get looped in to on-the-ground events nationwide. In 2011, IAVA had over 350 local events to bring together our membership and the vets community.
- Gain access to IAVA’s health, education and employment programs and resource directory to best-in-class services nationwide.
- Get access to The Rucksack for free rewards exclusive to Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, ranging from tickets to NFL games to test prep classes.
- Add your voice to the over 200,000 members and supporters who have already joined the movement. IAVA is building an empowered generation of vets who provide leadership for our country and their communities. Whether it’s through Storm the Hill, where we bring vets to fight for our issues on Capitol Hill, training them to lead in their local communities or having them tell their stories in the media, we put IAVA members on the front lines to lead the way for the New Greatest Generation.
