The article defines the role of public organization in the process of social adaptation of veterans to the conditions of modern society. The challenges facing society and which led to the creation of the Ministry of Veterans of Ukraine as a state institute for assistance and support to veterans have been analyzed. The purpose of the article is to determine the role of a public organization in the process of social adaptation of veterans using the example of the implementation of the "Norway-Ukraine" project in Chernihiv. The project implementation methodology has been analyzed and the content of social adaptation measures conducted by the public organization in the course of project implementation has been disclosed. During the writing of the article, a complex of theoretical research methods has been applied: analysis and generalization of scientific literature on the definition of the role of public organization and the process of social adaptation of veterans with elements of induction and deduction; analysis and synthesis - to determine the initial provisions of the article; and empirical methods: the OSADA social adaptation test, the test for measuring general entrepreneurial abilities (GET TEST), the Meaningful Life Orientation Test (MLO), the Goal-Means Result test, and focus groups.The results of the program of professional retraining and social adaptation made it possible to talk about a rather significant level of motivation of the participants in their self-improvement. The ultimate goal of social adaptation measures should be reintegration of veterans into peaceful life, inclusion in the system of human contacts at the individual level.In the process of implementing the program of professional retraining and social adaptation, an important role is assigned to the public organization. Since the recruitment of the group, its diagnosis, the preparation of scientific and pedagogical workers to work with a group of listeners, which has its own characteristics, the selection of measures for social adaptation allows to create conditions for a successful process of adaptation of veterans to new living conditions.
