Volunteer with WarriorWOD
Volunteer for veterans by working a WarriorWOD event, lending a professional skill, or mentoring one Warrior through the six-month program. WarriorWOD runs on a small team, so the hours you give go straight to the work.
Who runs WarriorWOD
Phil Palmer founded WarriorWOD in June 2021. He is a Marine combat veteran and Purple Heart recipient from the Battle of Ramadi, and he still handles most of the day-to-day work.
Every hour a volunteer takes on, from an event shift to a marketing campaign, is an hour Phil can put back into the Warriors. One veteran’s six-month recovery costs $1,500, covered by donors. The veteran pays nothing.

What your hours support
Your time supports a six-month program that measures itself. Warriors complete the PCL-5 and C-SSRS at intake and every month. The College of Charleston ran an independent evaluation that WarriorWOD did not review before release.
