Chapter Programs
Membership
The Colonial Chapter has approximately 320 members. To qualify for membership an individual must meet the following criteria:
Sports and Recreation
Colonial PVA realizes that sports and recreation is a valuable rehabilitative tool which is effective in rebuilding self-esteem and self-confidence as well as promoting the health and welfare of its participants.
Advocacy
Advocacy in the community is a major, ongoing concern. Working with other veteran and disability groups has increased public awareness of the potential of paralyzed and disabled persons in the work place and in the community.
Service
Paralyzed Veterans of America service officers represent the majority of our membership before the Veterans Administration with regard to claims for benefits.
Legislation
Paralyzed Veterans of America, Colonial Chapter continually represents its members and others with disabilities at all levels of government; local, state and national, helping to defend and ensure our civil rights in all areas.
