Do you volunteer with a community-focused service organization? Donate to a California non-profit? If so, thank you for YOUR service. You have more in common with your California Military Department than you may think! California is exceptional because of her uncompromising values and cultural trendsetters who confront issues others shy away from.
Start by imagining what your military can do for you. But if the only images that flood your mind are of tanks and beach invasions, please, keep reading….
California is different and so is her military. Education, diversity, climate, and homelessness are modern issues threatening our Golden State. Shoulder-to-shoulder, guided by shared values, people in your community have realized an ally: a fresh, inspired military fighting to keep California at her best.

2nd Annual CaliforniaWarrior Experience, Camp San Luis Obispo, CA
We approached local environmentalists. We learned people REALLY want base access to hike the ancient volcano locked up there. We over-delivered a spiritual and educational journey — 1,000ft up to the peak — that our 100 amazing guests will never forget. Our friends from the California Native Plant Society, the Northern Chumash Indian tribe, Grizzly Youth Academy, Voler Apparel, and Cal Poly made it possible.

For months, we mobilized nationally recognized experts to help civilians impacted by the nation’s deadliest wildfire find fresh employment opportunities. Work For Warriors was built for veterans, but not all warriors wear camouflage in California. To keep California at her best, and to begin healing, we needed to help these survivors from our California family any way we could.
