ABOUT SENTINELS OF FREEDOM
Sentinels of Freedom was established to meet an entirely new underserved population. Our mission is to assist severely wounded or injured, post-9/11 veterans in their efforts to become productive and self-sufficient members of their communities as they transition back to civilian life.
We call our program participants “Sentinels” in honor of their sacrifice in guarding America’s freedoms. Each Sentinel receives the support of a case manager who identifies their most essential needs and then arranges for the support and the services required to fill in the gaps that might otherwise make the dream of higher education and a significant post-military career impossible.
Our customized, multi-year program called Bridge for Education complements the veteran’s drive, motivation, and positive attitude and gives support ranging from financial coaching, mentoring, transition assistance and access to other resources needed as they face numerous challenges in recovering their health and returning to civilian life.
When the Sentinel is ready to graduate, Sentinels of Freedom sets them up with a mentor who can provide them with the perspective and practical tips needed to thrive in their career. Over time, these mentors may become a veteran’s lifetime friend.
Sentinels who have excelled in our program share that they appreciate that receiving support from Sentinels of Freedom is not a handout, it is an investment in them which we believe will benefit their communities and the nation.
Sentinels of Freedom considers it our national responsibility to support these men and women who have experienced such hardship in service to our country.
