Wounded Warrior Project Mission
Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) began when several veterans and friends, moved by stories of the first wounded service members returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq, took action to help others in need. What started as a program to provide comfort items to wounded service members has grown into a complete rehabilitative effort to assist warriors as they transition back to civilian life.
The Alumni program provides long-term support through a wide range of complimentary programs designed to give ongoing support. WWP Alumni enjoy getting together while attending exclusive WWP events, college and professional sporting events, dinners, and many other activities. Over the years, our Alumni program has grown substantially – take a look at the graph on the left.
As our Alumni program expanded, WWP responded with innovative programs to meet the needs of warriors and their families. Our programs are uniquely structured to nurture the mind and body, and encourage economic empowerment and engagement.
