Our Mission

WQW empowers post-9/11 combat veterans and their loved ones to thrive and live
purpose-driven lives through peak experiences in nature, meaningful relationships, and a
sense of community.

Our Vision

Empowering Veterans to Thrive, Lead, and Inspire a Stronger Nation.

We envision a future where veterans not only thrive after their military service but also
become pillars of progress, fortifying the very fabric of our nation. Through their leader-
ship and continued service, they illuminate the honorable path of military service, kindling
a flame that inspires the next generation of America’s sons and daughters to stand up
and serve. In this way, our veterans not only enrich their own lives but become the
cornerstone of a stronger, more resilient nation.

WHAT WE DO

When a person leaves the military, their drive to make a difference doesn’t end.
However, the military’s 360-degree support to fulfill that mission does. Without comrades,
commands, military culture and care, veterans often feel stuck — unable to translate their
powerful potential into the chaos and individualism of civilian life. Relationships can suffer,
sleep can degrade, careers can stall, and wounds may linger. Even veterans who seem
like they’re thriving on the surface might feel hollow and stuck inside. In each of these
cases, WQW sees a person who was Built for More.
