A Decade of Serving Veterans and Their Families

For the past 10 years, NC4ME has been a driving force in connecting North Carolina’s veterans and military spouses with meaningful employment opportunities. With over 24,000 servicemembers and spouses impacted and a $1.5 billion wage impact to our state, the results speak for themselves.
But we’re just getting started.

  • Expand our reach to underserved veteran communities
  • Provide tailored career services and employer education
  • Host hiring events and training programs across the state
  • Build sustainable pathways to employment for military families
Every dollar raised is an investment in the people who’ve served our country—and in the future of North Carolina’s workforce.
