1 The Green Zone Initiative
Veterans Outreach and Service Coordination in Nevada

2 The Green Zone Initiative
The Green Zone Initiative (GZI) is the State of Nevada’s effort to marshal all available resources in the areas of wellness, education, and employment for Nevada’s veterans. It is a statewide strategic planning initiative designed to improve services to Nevada’s service members, veterans, and their families, to increase collaboration among service providers, and to provide a roadmap for ways to improve the current offering of services to policymakers, non-profit funders, and other members of the statewide community. It is augmented by a statewide infrastructure, including the Interagency Council on Veterans Affairs, local Veteran Community Councils, specific focus area efforts, an online social networking platform, and more.
