About The Program
Community Integration is a holistic veteran-focused, community-led initiative to proactively connect with all veterans, family members, and caregivers, therefore, ensure access to the resources and opportunities available in collaboration with local communities. We aim to cultivate integrated, resilient, and prosperous veteran communities across the country by improving veteran quality of life thus ending veteran suicide.
America's Warrior Partnership uses a one-size-fits-one method that improves a veteran’s quality of life with the upstream approach by combining the Community Integration model, utilizing the one of its kind study - Operation Deep Dive™, providing a national network of support through The Network, and listening to the needs and advocating on behalf of veterans.
The Community Integration model amplifies local efforts by:
-
Bringing local veteran-serving organizations, community leadership, and business together to identify and bridge the gaps in available services.
-
Connecting local groups to national resources through America’s Warrior Partnership Network.
-
America’s Warrior Partnership works with communities to provide a framework for wrap-around service that both meets veteran needs and enhances the community’s stature and ability.
-
Any organization – from industry to government to nonprofit – may implement Community Integration to strengthen and empower their whole community
