Join Wounded Warrior Project

At Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP), we're committed to helping warriors thrive for a lifetime — whatever that means for them. For some, it could be sleeping better, finding confidence, or building a community. For others, it could be taking the first step to ask for help or being in a place to support others.

That’s why we offer a wide range of programs, services, and resources that work together to help improve well-being, from meaningful connections to mental, physical, and financial wellness.  

Who We Serve

Post-9/11 wounded, ill, or injured veterans and their families are eligible to join and never pay a penny for our services and support. If you are currently on active duty, transitioning, or served on or after September 11, 2001, you may be eligible. A disability rating is not required. If you are unsure if you are eligible, please contact the WWP Resource Center at 888.WWP.ALUM (997.2586).

When you join, you become part of a supportive community of people who are like you, understand you, and are there for you.

Warrior Registration

If you are a post-9/11 wounded, ill, or injured veteran or active-duty service member, use the link below to register. A disability rating is not required to join. To complete your registration, you'll need to provide the documents listed below.

However, some veterans may be able to skip this step by requesting the VA to confirm eligibility using an ID.me or Login.gov account during online registration. This secure option can verify your service details and confirm your eligibility for WWP™ services — no paperwork needed.

Family Member Registration

Warriors aren’t the only ones who face challenges. WWP recognizes the importance of a strong support system — and we’re here for you, too.

Whether you’re a spouse, partner, friend, or someone else important in a warrior’s life, you may be eligible to register with WWP as a family member. You don’t need to wait for the warrior to register. If they have not already registered, we’ll just need some additional information to complete your application.

Please note: Family members cannot register a warrior or complete an application on their behalf without their consent.
