About

Veterans for American Ideals, in collaboration with Starbucks, is proud to present "SIV Sips,” a project sharing our passion for veterans and those who served with them.

Named in honor of the brave interpreters and translators who received Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) for their service alongside U.S. troops in Iraq or Afghanistan, SIV Sips show new Americans that they are part of a community, and veterans that their work isn't done just because they've taken off the uniform.

By coming together for coffee and conversation, we build bridges between communities and help newly arrived SIV recipients and refugees expand their networks, helping them become proud contributors to the American experience.
