The Paso Del Norte Borderplex Veteran Coalition is a 501(c) (3) Veteran Organization headquartered in El Paso with the mission to unite the community to accelerate the impact of Veterans in the Paso Del Norte Region. The vision is to bridge the gap between the numerous Veteran Service Organizations, nonprofit organizations and the local/county/state/federal government agencies to ensure no Veteran or family member falls through the cracks. Our goals include:
Increase the number of Veterans relocating to the Paso Del Norte Region to make an immediate impact on the Economic Development of the Region. (Median income for Texas Veterans according to the United States Census Bureau is $66,000.00. The median income for El Paso is $42,000.00. A potential $24,000.00 immediate economic impact for the region).
Increase the number and impact of Employers in the Paso Del Norte Region providing a workforce (Veterans and family members) that have the essential skills employers seek (Attention to Detail, Critical Thinking, Teamwork, Dependability, Adaptability, etc.).
Increase the number of Veterans and family members enrolled in Higher Education Facilities in the Paso Del Norte Region and keep Student Veterans in the region upon graduation.
Build a Veteran Coalition for the Paso Del Norte Borderplex Region that promotes the rich history and heritage of the region and looks forward to building a bridge for the Transitioning Service Member where no Veteran or family member falls through the cracks.
