JCCC Veteran & Military Student Resource Center

Final Score: Johnson County Community College is the 🏆 2026 National Champion 🏆 after an 8-5 win over Blinn College in game #18 of the tournament!

We all have something to be thankful for today. That is of course our mothers. Thank you MOMs!

Friends, I Need Your Help! 💛

Over the last several months, what started as a small idea has grown into something incredibly meaningful. On May 30th, we’ll be hosting Women Veterans Engage at VFW Post 56 in Leavenworth.

This is a full-day experience created for women veterans and women currently serving in the military.

This event was built with intention.
Not just another meeting.
Not just another resource fair.

This is about connection, visibility, healing, growth, purpose, leadership, and reminding women who have served that they still belong in community with one another.

We’ll have speakers, professional development, wellness opportunities, networking, hands-on experiences, resources, and real conversations with women who understand the military experience firsthand.

Honestly, seeing the community come together around this has been one of the most encouraging things I’ve witnessed in a long time.

So today I’m asking for help from ALL parts of my life. My veteran friends, beauty clients, VFW family, fellow moms, business owners, antique lovers, pinup friends, church friends, local supporters… everybody.

Please help me share this.
Tag a woman veteran.
Invite someone who served.

Send it to a friend who may need this space more than she realizes.
We’re also hosting a relaxed “Meet & Mingle” evening the night before for anyone wanting to come in early, meet people, and start building connections before the main event. 💛
