The Wyakin Foundation is a nonprofit Veteran Service Organization providing comprehensive support to veterans transitioning into fulfilling civilian careers. We focus on empowering our veterans as they pursue success as they define it.
We do this through our six-tenet model:
• Mentorship
• Professional Development
• Education and Financial Grants
• Community Impact
• Networking
• Alumni Program- Wyakin for Life
Veterans can choose their path:
The Wyakin Trades program is for those pursuing vocational trades and certificates.
The Wyakin Academics program is for those pursuing two, four, or post-graduate degrees.
The Wyakin Wheels program is for those pursuing a Class A CDL.
On average, we serve our veterans for three years offering comprehensive, multi-faceted support to meet their individual needs.
