Learn more about Strength to Serve

Every day, ordinary people step into extraordinary battles—supporting veterans at risk of suicide, guiding those struggling with addiction and homelessness, mentoring underserved youth, and standing with families facing poverty, disability, or abuse. These frontline servants rarely receive the resources, rest, or recognition that sustain long-term impact.

That’s where Strength to Serve steps in. With your gift, you fund a five-month transformational journey—including a 6-day wilderness immersion in Oregon's Klamath Wilderness—that restores the resilience, mental health, and leadership capacity of these unsung heroes. Research with the University of Utah shows statistically significant improvements in social connectedness, self-efficacy, and mental health for participants.

Support these caregivers in crisis. By helping us reach our $20,000 goal, you’re not just funding a program—you are strengthening the social fabric of our communities by valuing those who give their all.

Strength to Serve will take you further than you ever thought possible. Everything you need is within yourself, this will help to bring it out.
