What We Do

Our Approach

Recognizing that veterans and military families are strong, community-oriented, proactive, and diverse by most measures, We the Veterans employs a strengths-based approach in our work.

We arm veterans and military families with the best information possible about the challenges facing our nation and empower them to be part of the solutions.

Focus on strengths

Recognizing that no single institution or organization can solve these problems alone, We the Veterans convenes and connects stakeholders that contribute or are needed to contribute to this mission.

We aim to create an environment of collaboration and innovation that acts as a force multiplier for change on these challenges.

Convene and connect

Recognizing that these challenges will endure and evolve, We the Veterans is focused on developing research-backed solutions that address root causes, not just symptoms.

We prioritize tracking the effectiveness of our initiatives, allowing us to shift focus and resources away from those that are not moving the needle to those that will.
