Our programs
Our seven key programs extend our services to first responders and families, provide specialized outreach and opportunities, and enhance the overall quality of life for those we serve.
First Responder Program
Like our veterans, our first responders answer the call to serve. That service often comes with many of the same challenges, including service-related injuries, PTSD, and vicarious trauma. Through our First Responder Program we strive to fill the critical resource gap for local law enforcement, fire fighters, and EMS personnel. When our first responders are healthy and whole, our entire community is strengthened.
Family Services Program
Our warriors don’t serve alone. Their families provide irreplaceable support while making their own sacrifices and carrying their own aspirations. Our Family Services Program provides opportunities and resources that serve the whole person: therapeutic art classes (provided in partnership with Premier Arts Collective), personal development courses, educational events for children, hike outings, Operation Christmas Blessings, and more.
Employment & Entrepreneurship Programs
Our Employment Program helps job-seeking warriors and their spouses reconnect to their purpose by providing workforce readiness and networking support. Whether we’re helping warriors in critical need, hosting a SkillBridge participant, or facilitating career advancement, our team fosters hope and achievement through employment.
Our Entrepreneurship Program is for the go-getter warriors ready to turn their big ideas into profitable and sustainable businesses. Through this program warriors and their spouses find mentorship opportunities with seasoned executives, business coaching, guidance on securing investments, and more.
Justice-Involved Veteran Outreach Program
For some warriors, unaddressed trauma can lead to negative outcomes, including substance misuse and justice involvement. In partnership with detention centers and law enforcement agencies, our Justice-Involved Veteran Outreach team connects at-risk and incarcerated veterans with opportunities to regain stability. We work closely with Veterans Treatment Courts (VTC) and behavioral health providers across the Upstate to divert warriors and open new possibilities.
Recreation Program
Warriors and their families experience the wellness benefits of physical activity and social connection through our Recreation Program. In partnership with Prisma Health’s Roger C. Peace Rehabilitation Hospital and many others, we offer free opportunities ranging from archery to surfing, skiing to yoga, and beyond. We see amazing things happen when warriors get outdoors to try something new with like-minded people.
Spiritual Support Program
Serving the whole person includes addressing the spiritual needs of our warriors and families. Our Spiritual Support Program connects warriors and families to faith communities where their spirituality can grow and flourish.
