Join IAVA’s Online Community

IAVA is the first digitally-native veterans organization. Started on a MySpace page, we now harness the power of our 425,000-strong membership across the most powerful social media platforms of the day.

Our members’ willingness to share their stories with all types of media, including social media, helps give a face to the issues that matter most to our community. Our collective voices have then, time and time again, created change.

IAVA’s Cavalry is our premier leadership development program designed to train post-9/11 veterans in veteran advocacy. What began as a few scrappy veterans engaging with Congress has grown into leadership development program and pipeline that fuels #VetsRising. Members of IAVA’s Cavalry are chosen through a competitive application and interview process, and once selected, get opportunities to meet with policymakers and members of the media to share their story, and help create change on behalf of the newest generation of America’s veterans.

When IAVA’s Cavalry speaks, our nation’s leaders listen.
