The Northeast DuPage Special Recreation Association (NEDSRA) offers a variety of recreation and wellness programs for individuals with special needs, including the V.E.T.S. (Veteran Engagement, Training & Support) program. This initiative helps veterans transition to civilian life by promoting physical fitness, mental wellness, and community connection.

Through the program, eligible veterans receive a free one-year fitness center membership for themselves and a “Battle Buddy,” personal training sessions, social events, and access to veteran resource fairs and networking opportunities. The program is made possible through partnerships with local park districts and community organizations, working together to support veterans and promote healthy, connected lives.
