ETS Sponsorship is a 501c4 nonprofit corporation headquartered in Washington D.C.. ETS Sponsorship is not a charity. ETS Sponsorship supports service members transitioning out of military service through its flagship Onward Ops military transition support program.  Onward Ops is an evidence-based program that successfully transitions service members  to their post-military communities in order to prepare them for civilian life. New Veterans are a special population of interest due to the elevated risk for unemployment, homelessness and suicide during their first year after transitioning to civilian life. State partnerships with ETS Sponsorship expand and unify the support into local government and community organizations. An objective of this pilot  is to determine the measures of effectiveness necessary to extend the technology platform and organizational structure to support the National Guard and the total Veteran population.
