Wounded Warrior Project provides free programs and services focused on the physical, mental, and long-term financial well-being of this generation of injured veterans, their families and caregivers.
Wounded Warriors who incurred service-connected injuries or illness on or after September 11, 2001 are eligible for the WWP Alumni program. No dues here - you paid those on the battlefield. Check out all the benefits and register today.
When a warrior faces challenges, the family experiences those challenges along with their warrior. We support family members who suddenly find they are serving as full-time supporters or caregivers.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (August 19, 2016) – Children of injured veterans were set up for a successful school year during a recent Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) back-to-school open house. Warriors and family members gathered at the WWP Cambridge office, where they received information about the back-to-school process, along with a bounty of supplies.
From binders to crayons to writing utensils, families found everything needed for their school-aged children. And because no one wants to carry so much loot by hand, a selection of WWP backpacks was also available.
SAN DIEGO (August 19, 2016) – Nearly 150 wounded warriors and their family members recently spent the night with cheetahs and elephants at a Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) program gathering at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. The outing allowed injured veterans to experience firsthand what is possible when offered opportunities to get out of the house and engage with their service brothers and sisters.
“I was so happy to meet new warriors and their families,” said Army veteran Sonia Gonzalez. “I don’t get out much to associate with others, and this was an awesome experience for myself, my daughter, grandkids, and nephew. We were able to really bond, and I truly look forward to more experiences like this with WWP.”
BELLE PAINE, Kan. (August 18, 2016) – The presence of heavy rain did nothing to stop the fun at a recent Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) programmatic outreach gathering. Through some paintball rounds of friendly competition, wounded warriors experienced what is possible when exposed to social events that get them out of the house and engaged with their service brothers and sisters.
The group of injured veterans met at Graffiti Paintball, eager to brave the elements and try their hands at the seven obstacle-filled challenge courses. Putting expert military training to good use, the group navigated the fields, facing off against opponents with an arsenal of brightly colored pellets.
NEW ORLEANS, La. (August 18, 2016) – Injured veterans and their family members recently joined Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) to celebrate nature and view its diversity at the Audubon Nature Institute’s zoo and aquarium. While viewing a variety of wildlife, participants forged bonds with fellow military families.
With the Audubon Zoo located in the historic uptown of New Orleans and the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas adjacent to the French Quarter on the Mississippi River, the outing offered a glimpse of the Crescent City’s most notable locations. Exhibits ran the gamut from familiar – including screech owls, Louisiana black bears, and sea turtles – to the obscure, with tapirs, colobus monkeys, black diamond leopoldi stingrays, and rhinoceros hornbills. Guests also saw curiosities like dragonhead katydids and sunburst diving beetles at the insectarium.
PETERSBURG, Fla. (August 17, 2016) – Before the hustle and bustle of a new school year, many families like to get out in the sun and enjoy one last bit of summer fun. Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) recently helped a large group say goodbye to the carefree season in style with an end-of-summer celebration at The Getaway in St. Petersburg.
More than 100 injured veterans and family members took part in the celebration, which included water activities and a make-your-own taco bar. WWP teamed up with Urban Kai to provide paddleboarding and kayaking to willing participants.
Introducing a nationwide battle against the invisible wounds of war.
