International Service Member Advocate Brings his Passion and Experience to Long Island

Elmont, Long Island -- We are excited to welcome Owen O'Shea, former Programs Manager for USO (United Services Organization), to Easter Seals New York. O'Shea will serve as the Manager of Easter Seals New York's Vets2Jobs Program and Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program.

O'Shea's passion for helping Service Members has led him to working in various capacities with programs such as United Through Reading and The Wounded Warrior Project.

This new position located in NYC and Elmont, Long Island, will allow O'Shea to play a crucial role in helping those who risked their lives for their country become reintegrated into their communities. 

Easter Seals New York currently provides three unique military and veterans vocational services programs to support our returning veterans as they reintegrate into society and gain the skills needed to obtain employment and become productive, active members of our workforce. Eligible participants go through an intake and assessment, receive hard and soft skills training and finally, employment placement and retention services.
