THE TOUGHEST BATTLES HAPPEN AFTER THE UNIFORM COMES OFF.

WHEN SERVICE ENDS.

MISSION BRIEF: WE STAY IN THE FIGHT.

Service builds operators around four things: COMMUNITY, ADRENALINE, STRUCTURE, and HELP when it counts. The uniform comes off, and all four go with it.

WHAT WE DO

BEVP gives veterans and first responders those four things back.

Structured programs run the long arc. Six months of partner-led care, individual assessments, a cohort that stays together.

Events involving extreme sports run the spectacle. Big ideas, big visibility, big impact. The community and adrenaline come back together.

PROGRAMS GUIDE THE STRUCTURE AND THE HELP. EVENTS RECONNECT THE COMMUNITY WITH THE CHARGE.

Real Science.

Our program, War Feather, runs on partners with credentials, instruments, and data. Partner-led care, individual measurements, and weekly practice are our one sustained commitment to veterans and first responders.

Care begins with the person.

Who War Feather serves

War Feather serves military veterans and police, fire, and EMS professionals who are seeking help and ready to participate.

Participants show up for appointments, training, reflection, and each other. BEVP coordinates the program and its partners. Personal goals guide the work, and qualified professionals guide individual care.

How the six months work

War Feather follows six phases, from selection through completion and continued involvement. Partner-led care takes place alongside weekly programming, with the cohort remaining together throughout the six-month commitment.

Each week includes a review of the scheduled work, work connected to the shared manual, a team check-in, and personal reflection. Monthly in-person gatherings provide time for shared training, program review, and discussion of commitments.

How participation is considered

Applicants complete a submission followed by committee review, a psychological evaluation, and a physical challenge. Selection considers the applicant’s circumstances, readiness, and ability to participate in the program. Each cohort has a maximum of 50 participants.
