Chicago Veterans is a small nonprofit organization based in Chicago, Illinois. It traces its origins to 2013 when combat veterans from DePaul University collaborated to address the transition from military service to civilian life. The effort quickly expanded beyond DePaul to include veterans from other Chicago-area universities, highlighting common challenges such as securing quality employment, understanding health and educational benefits, and maintaining the camaraderie built in the military. In February 2014, the group formalized as Chicago Veterans and obtained 501(c)(3) status. The organization focuses on practical support for veterans and their families as they navigate these transitions.

The organization concentrates its work around four core areas it identifies as essential to veteran success: helping veterans secure employment, supporting access to educational benefits, enabling networking among veterans, and fostering camaraderie within the community. Its target audience includes veterans and supporters in the Chicago region seeking practical help and connection. With a small staff, Chicago Veterans operates within the nonprofit sector to provide structured programs and meaningful support for transition-related needs.
