About NV3 FOUNDATION
NV3 describes itself as a National Veterans Vocational Village: a self-sustaining vocational training center and residential community that helps disabled and injured veterans — including those with invisible wounds — transition to civilian life through skills training, employment and community support. citeturn1view0turn4view0
The organization runs a distinctive aviation-focused vocational program (including the FAA-approved “aeroleg” integration and helicopter build/test activities), conducts VA spinal cord injury outreach, and pursues a multi‑phase village development with a planned 2025 groundbreaking. citeturn2view1turn8view0turn4view0
In recent years NV3 has presented at major industry events, secured a hangar/training facility in the Colorado Springs area, built multiple experimental helicopters (including a helicopter configured for a paraplegic pilot), and actively solicited sponsorship for a global “World Flight” awareness tour. citeturn2view1turn9view0turn0search4
