CENTER DIRECTOR
Full time. We are seeking an independent, energetic, and creative leader with passion for service and support for Veterans to direct the Center’s daily operations and outreach.
Transition to civilian life is more than a job change.... It is a LIFE change! The REBOOT Workshop™ is designed to assist members of the military in making the social and career transition from years of service by addressing their fears and “re-booting” their skills. This three-day workshop is a condensed version of the three-week course and has been offered at Cape Cod Community College in previous sessions. THIS AUGUST, it's coming to the Falmouth Community Veterans Center!
The Cape Cod Bocce Tournament embraces those new and casual players who have come out to enjoy a lawn game, grab some lunch and a drink, and--most importantly--offer their support to the Falmouth Community Veterans Center. Bocce is a game that can be played by all, learned in minutes, and enjoyed for years—and at a pace that lets you sip from your cup and enjoy friendly conversation between turns with your competitors.
Building on the incredible success of the Falmouth Chapter of G4V, the Falmouth Community Veterans Center has partnered with the Falmouth Cultural Council and Mass Cultural Council to bring guitars and lessons to children of military families! Beginning in June, 2025 and open to students aged 9-12 whose primary caregiver is a current or veteran uniformed service member, one-on-one lessons will be provided on 6-string LOOG guitars. For more information or to register, contact MA/Falmouth@GuitarsForVets.org.

More than meeting for coffee, the JQVCB mission is to build an all inclusive community where, in collaboration with local military support organizations and community partners, all Veterans and their families can find fellowship, targeted and effective services, and a wide variety of programs.

A 501(c)3 registered with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office, we represent all branches of the military and members of the community with a connection to service in the military. Conceived in 2016 and legally established as a nonprofit in May of 2020, Joe Q Veteran Coffee Break is working to improve quality of life for those that served and those who support them.

The late Joe Quintiliani (“Joe Q” to his friends) was a long-time Falmouth resident who had a distinguished career in the United States Coast Guard as a deep-sea diver, and a second career as a firefighter on Cape Cod. In recognition of his selfless service to the Veteran community, the Joe Q Veteran Coffee Break was named in his honor. The Falmouth area Veteran coffee break concept was developed in June of 2016 by Joe and his friends who recognized the need to build fellowship among area Veterans and to provide them with vital information and guidance about programs and services available to Veterans. Joe Quintiliani had a vision to improve quality of life for those who served by providing the support and information today’s Veterans and their families need. Joe Q Veteran Coffee Break has set a course to make Joe Q’s vision a reality for Falmouth-area Veterans and their families for many years to come.
