The mission of the WWP is to honor and empower Wounded Warriors by raising the awareness of the public and helping injured service members through a variety of programs and services. All of this is in the hopes of fostering the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation's history.
Programs Offered
The WWP aims to help our injured veterans through 4 key facets of healing; Mind. Body. Economics. and Engagement. Here how...
MIND - "We envision a generation of Wounded Warriors well-adjusted in mind, receiving support to overcome the challenges of readjustment. Through interactive programs, outdoor rehabilitative retreats, peer support, and professional services, warriors are given the tools to maintain healthy, meaningful relationships with family and friends, and pursue life goals without the barriers or stigmas associated with mental health issues."
BODY - "We envision a generation of Wounded Warriors well-adjusted in body, receiving the care they need to maximize rehabilitation and live active and healthy lives. Through adaptive sports, health, nutrition, and recreational activities, WWP helps warriors achieve independence and pursue an excellent quality of life."
ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT - "We envision a generation of Wounded Warriors who are economically empowered. They are not unemployed or underemployed, and have opportunities to pursue a meaningful career or own their own business. WWP offers higher education programs, information technology training, and employment assistance services to encourage economic empowerment for warriors to provide long-term financial stability for themselves and their families."
ENGAGEMENT - "To ensure injured service members stay connected with one another, WWP has both a peer mentoring and robust Alumni program. Additionally, the Policy & Government affairs program ensures injured warriors and their families have a voice in local and national advocacy and legislative issues. WWP also offers a Benefits Service program that provides you with access to government benefits and details on all of our programs and community resources."
How can you help?
There are a number of ways that you too can help empower our valiant veterans who have returned home with injuries, both the visible and hidden scars of war.
You can volunteer your time, your money, or even just your presence through word of mouth. For myself, I've decided to donate 10% of the total March sales from my website, BlueCopperJewelry.com, to the Wounded Warriors Project!! With each purchase you make from Blue Copper Jewelry you'll be getting beautiful jewelry and helping a great cause, all at the same time! It doesn't get much easier than that does it?!
