Great benefits. Competitive pay. We know these are some of the things people look for in a job.
If you're the kind of person who believes that honoring and empowering our nation's veterans is more than just a cause - that it's a calling - then we're ready to meet you.
When you join Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP), you're committing to making a difference. We make a commitment to you, too - helping you to find that spark, ignite your passion to serve, and embark on a career with meaning and purpose.
At WWP™, we recognize our mission cannot be accomplished without our talented teammates, which is why we're proud to offer benefits such as:

A mission that matters is just the beginning, so if you're ready to get started, we're ready for you.
The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) Project Odyssey program is a 12 week mental health initiative that combines a five day, in person adventure-based workshop with ongoing hybrid support to help warriors build resilience, achieve personal goals, and make lasting positive changes. It connects warriors through shared experiences, serves them with essential mental health resources, and empowers them to step outside their comfort zones to strengthen confidence, resilience, and relationships.
The Project Odyssey Intern will gain exposure to experiential education, adaptive recreation, program logistics, and participant engagement through observation, shadowing, and supervised participation in program planning, curriculum discussions, and local events.
