Jim King, Chief Programs Officer at Still Serving Veterans (SSV), is committed to empowering veterans and their families as they transition from military to civilian life. Joining SSV in 2020 as a Career and Transition Counselor and later becoming the Chief Programs Officer, King draws on his own experiences as a retired Navy veteran to support others facing the
unique challenges of reintegration.
SSV’s mission is simple yet powerful: “To make a lasting impact on Veterans and their families by providing professional support services that empower and equip them for a secure future.” Through programs in career transition, claims and
benefits assistance, and veteran support services, SSV ensures that veterans across the U.S. — and even those stationed overseas — have access to critical resources for building meaningful lives post-service.
SSV’s partnership with the NVBDC MVO Task Force is powerful because it reinforces SSV’s commitment to veterans. This collaboration connects SSV clients, especially those interested in entrepreneurship, with vital resources and support networks designed for service-disabled and veteran-owned businesses. “Your commitment to improving opportunities for veteran-owned businesses and their families is inspiring, and partnering with the NVBDC MVO Task Force was a natural
fit for us,” King shared.SSV’s services are grounded in experience, with nearly all staff members being veterans or spouses of veterans themselves. Their programs focus on preparing clients for the next chapter, including innovative tools like AI
technology to refine job-search skills. This personal connection, combined with strategic support initiatives, has
established SSV as a “go-to” resource for veterans across the Southern United States.
Through partnerships with organizations like the Call of Duty Endowment, SSV continues to make a definite impact. “We are one of only ten primary grantees of the Call of Duty Endowment,” King noted, “and we’re incredibly proud of that
distinction.” This partnership enables SSV to expand its reach and serve even more veterans in need.
As a nonprofit, SSV offers all services free of charge, funded by donations from those who share their mission. Supporters
are encouraged to become monthly donors at ssv.org/donate to help sustain these life-changing services for veterans
and their families.
Looking to the future, SSV remains dedicated to being the leading veteran service organization throughout the Southern United States, embodying a vision set forth by Rear Admiral Richard “Rich” Landolt, U.S. Navy Retired and SSV’s President and CEO: “To be the ‘Go To’ Veteran Service organization throughout the Southern United States.” To learn more about Still Serving Veterans and to explore ways to support their mission, visit ssv.org.
