The hardest part is walking through the door. After that, you're among people who get it.
Isolation is one of the heaviest weights a veteran carries home. Our classes and groups exist to lift it — a standing reason to show up, learn something, and be around people who understand.
Sessions run throughout the week at the Veterans Resource & Empowerment Center. Some are skill-building, some are creative, some are simply about fellowship over a cup of coffee at Rick's Coffee Bar. No skill or commitment required — just a willingness to walk in.
Veteran-to-veteran groups where the only requirement is honesty. What's said in the room stays in the room.
Low-key fellowship at Rick's Coffee Bar — show up, grab a cup, and let conversation do the rest.
Practical sessions on the everyday things — phones, paperwork, job tools, and getting unstuck.
A steady, judgment-free space for veterans working a path through addiction and recovery.
Art, building, and making — because purpose often starts with using your hands again.
Yoga, stretching, and mobility sessions that pair naturally with the fitness center upstairs.
Offerings rotate. Call (952) 356-5116 or stop by for the current weekly schedule.
Physical training was part of the routine in uniform. Keeping it doesn't have to cost a membership.
The ETS fitness center is open to veterans Monday through Friday, 10am–3pm. Inside you'll find cardio equipment, a rowing machine, a smith machine, free weights, and yoga mats — everything you need for a solid session, free of charge.
Classes, groups, the coffee bar, and the gym all live under one roof. Your gift keeps that roof — and that community — going strong.
