Our Mission
Warrior Summit Coalition is the source for all programs supporting veterans and active military across the nation. Through networking and enrollment assistance, WSC strives to give every veteran an opportunity for a better tomorrow.
Why Warrior Summit Coalition?
Many Active, Reserve and National Guard components return from service and have difficulty finding the proper direction and guidance for connecting available programs and services. WSC works daily uniting the veteran community to provide veterans and their family members immediate access to veteran support services. Providing these resources to veterans up front, before an issue arises, is paramount in reducing the amount of veteran unemployment, criminal activity , homelessness, and, most importantly, veterans suicide; improving their quality of life and positively impacting society as a whole.
“No veteran is a charity case. Given the right tool and opportunity there isn’t an obstacle a veteran can’t overcome nor task they can’t complete. So we educate, inform and connect them to the tools and resources available, empowering them to enrich their lives.”
