WarriorNOW

WarriorNOW (warriornow.org) is a Veteran-founded nonprofit dedicated to empowering U.S. military Veterans through connection, community, and purpose, addressing post-service challenges like isolation, mental health struggles, suicide, incarceration, and reintegration barriers.
​
The organization combats these issues by linking Veterans with trained peer mentors, resources, and programs that promote healing, growth, and long-term success. Core initiatives include the Nightly Buddy Check for daily peer support—praised for restoring camaraderie and saving lives—and a mentor program where Veterans guide others as coaches, advocates, or allies.
​
Additional programs feature Mentor Training & Education (over 100 hours delivered, 43+ mentors trained), ProSocial Events (192+ events, 960+ attendees), and a Reentry Program offering life skills, job training, and mentorship for justice-impacted Veterans. To date, they’ve conducted 1,879+ Buddy Check-ins and served 2,902+ Veterans.
​
Services target Veterans, families, and caregivers—no referrals required—with FAQs covering involvement, volunteering, donations, and events. Non-Veterans can mentor, emphasizing mutual support among service members.
