OUR STORY

From service in uniform to service in the world, our journey began with a mission to give purpose a new path.

From service in uniform to service in the world, our journey began with a mission to give purpose a new path.

After leaving active duty, many veterans struggle to find direction. VWO was founded to turn that uncertainty into momentum, reigniting the drive to serve, but this time, through humanitarian impact. Since our first mission, we've brought hundreds of veterans and civilians together to create real change on the ground, from Guatemala to Uganda.
