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.”

WHAT'S NEW AT WWP
Veterans Find Motivation on Their Fitness Journeys with Wounded Warrior Project
PHOENIX, March 25, 2019 -- Motivation can be one thing standing between you and your next workout. For many injured veterans, physical limitations are tangible barriers. Veterans who are managing the wounds of war on a daily basis will tell you the key to motivation is focusing on what you can do rather than on what you cannot.
Combat injuries in Iraq caused traumatic brain injury, vision loss, and limited use of the left side of Army veteran Erik Castillo's body. Participating in a health clinic and wellness coaching by Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) helped Erik realize there's a lot he can do to stay fit.
Brothers, Bracelets, and Bravery: Twins Fundraise for Injured Veterans
WOODBURY, Conn., March 22, 2019 -- Logan and Spencer Pasquariello are twin brothers with a strong heritage of military service. Growing up with two grandfathers who served their country inspired the brothers to turn a fifth-grade project into a way to honor their family. In the process, they found a way to help injured veterans served by Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP).
Logan took his research a step further by making and selling paracord bracelets at a local festival to raise money for those WWP serves.
Partnership Connects Military Spouses, Caregivers with Employment Services
WASHINGTON, March 19, 2019 -- Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) announces a grant in support of a collaborative effort between Blue Star Families, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Hiring Our Heroes initiative, and Military Family Advisory Network (MFAN) to connect military spouses and caregivers with employment services.
Wounded Warrior Project Addresses Joint Veterans Affairs Committees
WASHINGTON, March 7, 2019 -- Today, Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) testified before the Senate and House Committees on Veterans' Affairs, identifying some of the biggest issues that wounded, ill, and injured service members face. Rene' Bardorf, senior vice president of government and community relations for WWP, called on Congress to continue its oversight efforts, and identified key areas where the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) can strengthen its impact on millions of American veterans, their families, and caregivers.
Wounded Warriors Make Meaningful Connections in the Snow
BRECKENRIDGE, Colo., March 7, 2019 -- Army veteran Chad Hamrick has enjoyed skiing throughout his life. But he really wanted to give snowboarding a shot, "to relate to my teenage sons who board." He had a chance to learn and connect with other injured veterans at nonprofit Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center as part of a day organized by Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP).
Warriors were paired with ski and snowboarding instructors for one-on-one learning. The instructors were attentive to the warriors' injuries and offered adaptive options.
