Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Community Building
WE PROVIDE:
-Intensive training and team building adventures to assist in building a tight-knit core community in towns and cities across the US that are dedicated to growing, supporting, & enriching their local veterans’ lives;
-Familiar local brothers and sisters to lean on when things get tough rather than having to reach out to strangers or struggle alone in isolation;
-Frameworks for veterans' families to get together, connect, & support each other in ways that civilian families just can't seem to grasp;
-Opportunities to use our skills and talents to continue to serve in our own hometown and become part of the solution rather than suffering our common struggle alone.
Venue Development
EERS "FOBs" and "FIDs" in towns and cities across the country where we are always welcome without the pressures of alcohol, drugs, and civilian chaff.
WE PROVIDE:
-Relaxed atmosphere to watch a movie or a game, maybe play some pool or darts, have cookouts with friends in the evenings and weekends, or get the families together like only we know how;
