About us

Founded in 2022 in Ukraine, Pislya Sluzhby (”After Service” in English) is a Ukrainian charity dedicated to supporting the smooth transition of our military personnel and veterans into rewarding civilian lives. We work to ensure Ukrainian veterans thrive "After Service." Our primary objective is to enhance the quality of life of Ukrainian veterans to reduce instances of veteran suicide.

Pislya Sluzhby (PS) is at the forefront of a dynamic effort aimed at addressing total well-being of Ukrainian veterans. Our work encompasses psychological support, rehabilitation, job search assistance, and vocational training, focusing on reducing the number of veteran suicides and building a caring community.

We act as a bridge, linking veterans with society and connecting them to businesses and institutions ready to serve them. Our steadfast goal is to empower and prepare those who have served our country for their post-military life. Together, we envision a brighter future for our veterans.
