Transitioning from military to civilian life is a journey, and that journey is different for every veteran. We offer a wide range of free programs and services to support you no matter what your journey looks like.
Affected by your service on or after September 11, 2001? We can help. Physical or invisible, your needs matter and we have a community of donors, partners, employees and fellow warriors to make sure you’re not alone.
Each day, our warriors set ambitious goals and we celebrate their accomplishments. Where do you see yourself? Together we'll get you there because you have a bright future to look forward to.
“If I can be a part of an organization that helps people heal and find peace, then the end of my service is not the end. I’m just serving in a new way now.”

Wounded Warriors Forge New Connections During Blacksmithing Class
AVON, Minn., Jan. 15, 2020 -- Marine Corps veteran John Chance didn't consider himself much of an artist, but the opportunity to learn blacksmithing alongside other veterans from Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) changed his perspective.
"When you take steel and heat it up to shape it, you're getting outside of your own mind; you're focusing on the piece of metal and using all your senses to focus on just that," John said. "I can't draw to save my life, but working with steel brings out the artistic side."
