Field Service Program (BVA's backbone) All BVA Field Representatives are blinded veterans. They travel throughout the United States finding and counseling blinded veterans and their families. BVA Field Reps act as role models. They encourage fellow veterans to take charge of their lives. They link veterans with services, rehabilitation training and other benefits. When blinded veterans are ready to go back into the work force, BVA Field Reps can help them find jobs.
Kathern F. Gruber Scholarship Program (BVA's vision for tomorrow) Since the early '80s, BVA has offered spouses and dependent children of blinded veterans a chance to continue their education through the Kathern F. Gruber Scholarship Program.
BVA Bulletin (BVA's voice) Through this bimonthly publication, blinded veterans, their families and other interested parties keep in touch with each other as well as services, benefits and legislation. The Bulletin is offered free of charge to all blinded veterans on BVA's mailing list.
Regional Groups (BVA's heart and soul) Regional groups offer blinded veterans and their families opportunities for recreation, social activities and support groups. Regional groups also set up and staff volunteer service offices in VA medical centers and clinics. Often blinded veterans have their first contact with BVA and learn about available services, benefits and information through a regional group or volunteer service activity.
