Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

America’s Warrior Partnership’s (AWP) mission is to partner with communities to prevent veteran suicide. We believe all veterans should have access to quality resources, opportunities, and benefits they have earned.  Veterans are becoming more and more diverse. As a part of our mission, AWP is dedicated to reaching underserved communities, breaking down barriers to access for individuals, and building stronger communities across the country to best support all former U.S. service members with diverse ethnicities, genders, races, religions, socioeconomic status, and abilities.

According to the AWP Community Integration Playbook’s principle number 5, we believe that one size fits one Warrior (veteran, active-duty service member, family member, and caregiver).  Every Warrior is different in terms of life situation, life factors, and dreams. Case coordination for Warriors is not a cookie-cutter process. It is as unique as each individual Warrior. We also believe one size fits one for each community.  Every community is different in terms of needs, gaps in resources, and barriers.  Implementing programs and maintaining program delivery includes obtaining regular feedback from Warriors, community leaders, and resource providers to evaluate AWP’s alignment with the diverse communities we serve.
