TRACK offers wounded warriors an integrated approach to address long-term needs for education and training, advocacy, and secondary rehabilitative care for the mind, body and spirit. This unique program offers participants a range of college preparatory classes and services customized to their needs, helping them build career skills, train in veterans' advocacy, and continue recovery toward a more independent life.
The wounded warriors attend college classes as a group, with the ability to draw from their shared experiences. TRACK's facilities include three state-of-the art classrooms, as well as a gym, and individual workspaces for the warriors and instructors. TRACK's first cohort began August 15, 2008.
Each TRACK student receives a scholarship, which provides all class fees, books, materials, and a laptop, as well as individual housing and living expenses. TRACK students are paid as WWP interns the entire 12-month period. Each TRACK student is required to save a portion of their pay, which is invested and returned to you with interest at the successful completion of the program.
Classes are provided through Florida Community College at Jacksonville (FCCJ), and credit can be applied toward a bachelor's, associate degree, or vocational certificate. The second phase consists of an employment internship with local employers in Jacksonville, in the areas of IT, general business, and logistics.
Wounded Warrior Project is looking for highly motivated individuals who are willing to commit to a year's worth of intensive educational programming. Participants must be wounded warriors injured in OEF/OIF who are not receiving inpatient medical care.
Warriors must be eligible for Vocational Rehab benefits through the VA. Due to limits in housing availability, we currently cannot accommodate warriors living with other family members or animals.
