Combat-injured veterans + caregivers

Wounded Warriors

Adaptive studio sessions and mail-order kits for combat-injured veterans who often feel discarded after leaving the service.

About the program

Combat-injured veterans — many missing limbs or living with traumatic brain injury, many navigating the emotional seclusion that comes from losing the active-duty friend network — are a primary served population. We reach them through Wounded Warrior Project's Community Partners network and through adaptive in-studio sessions paired with veteran-specific mail-order kits.

How it runs

  • Adaptive in-studio sessions, weekly or bi-weekly, veteran-only.
  • Adaptive equipment for participants missing limbs or with mobility limitations.
  • Mail-order veteran-specific kits with service-meaningful project themes.
  • Caregiver-and-veteran sessions including spouse, parent, or adult child caregivers.
  • Direct partnership with VA Long Beach Recreation Therapy.
  • Annual veterans exhibit — sales split between the artist and the foundation.

Sliding-scale, every program

Subsidies covered by donors and grants.

Participants who can’t pay get free or low-fee access. Donors and foundation grants fund the difference.
