What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

As 22 Warriors Foundation has transferred from being the parent organization to being the Nevada Division of The Warriors Suicide Prevention Foundation, the Foundation needs to have the Board formerly and informally trained to insure that they know how and are acting in the best interest of the communities that they serve but also to be able to see and address area that the Officers and Staff of The Foundation can improve and how. A more effective Board of Directors can better govern and manage a growing Non-Profit Organization such as 22 Warriors Foundation.
