Mission: Education
Our mission is simple: every kid should have access to an education of their own interest, whether that's college, a trade, a certification, or a craft.
VDW Education Fund
A separate VDW Education Fund is planned to run scholarships, with its own board and its own books.
Caddo & Bossier pilot
The first awards are planned for kids in Caddo and Bossier parishes who have a parent in prison.
Paid where it counts
Awards are planned to be paid directly to schools and training programs, with veteran volunteers walking alongside each student.
Give
VDW runs only on voluntary gifts. Every gift keeps membership free for those who need it most.
One-time gift
Give any amount, any time.
