Learn more about our veteran family program and caregiver support
The transition from service member to civilian is not easy. Thankfully, many of our warriors have people like you—parents, siblings, caregivers and more who go above and beyond to help them. So we’re helping you in return. By providing guidance on VA benefits, and a variety of other programs, we empower you with the tools you need to be there for your warriors.

Alumni Connection Program
Veterans who register and join Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) are called Alumni. Whether you’re a warrior, family member, or caregiver, support for veterans starts with the WWP Alumni Connection Program. When you register as a veteran or family member, you’ll find help through free programs, services, and events that make healing possible. A supportive community can give you the strength to keep taking steps toward living a rewarding civilian life. Here, you’ll find that community. Connect, peer to peer. Go to a baseball game with someone who’s been where you are. Attend family events. Meet other caregivers. Get outside. Volunteer in your community. Feel what it’s like to find connection, camaraderie, and community again. We know that everyone is starting from a different place, so we offer something for everyone. What are you looking for right now? Start where you are, and together we’ll go from there.
