Boots to Books is a new course specifically designed for all veterans (especially returning OIF/OEF veterans), their family members, friends, and supporters. The goal of Boots to Books is to assist the veteran student in making a positive transition from military to civilian life including school. This curriculum is designed to help the student veteran succeed in academics, work, family, and other social settings. The Boots to Books course will teach students interpersonal skills, methods of adapting to civilian life at work, school and at home, and techniques for managing Military Readjustment Transition Issues. Boots to Books is a for credit college course offered as Counseling 159 through Citrus College in Glendora, CA. We also offer a non-credit course for friends and family members and supporters.
