Warrior 2 Citizen: Transition for Veterans and Families



Warrior 2 Citizen is a nonprofit created by veterans for veterans. The mission focuses on helping soldiers and their families transition from the front lines of war to the home front.  Post-traumatic Stress can lead to social isolation, tear families apart, and drive the veterans who suffer from the symptoms to suicide.  Warrior 2 Citizen knows how entirely preventable the worst situations are.  Social, economic, and emotional troubles can all be addressed and counseled before tragedy ever happens.

Warrior 2 Citizen emphasizes educational training, emotional healing, physical fitness, and building strong family bonds:
  • All programs provide the means to transition the veteran and his/her family into civilian environments through sustained education, training, and counseling.
  • Ongoing provision of safe time, space, and confidentiality enables the sustained healing and family bonding within a spiritual model (non-denominational) 30 day retreat.
  • Build supportive social network, systems, and distributed education and training.
  • Mimic the warfighter battlemind with sports activities and use decompression strategies to assist balancing the body, mind and spirit utilizing the benefits of an extreme sports camp platform and natural retreat environment
