Mission

The Two Wolf Foundation is committed to supporting members of the warrior tribe on their healing journey. Their main goal is to provide ongoing assistance to combat veterans and first responders who have undergone PTSD and substance addiction treatment programs, both clinical and non-clinical. They are devoted to ensuring that these individuals continue to receive support and experience post-traumatic growth in their recovery process. By bringing together our country’s exceptional warriors, the Two Wolf Foundation facilitates connections, service, and personal growth in unique and inspiring landscapes through overland adventures and land stewardship activities.

Connect

Combat veterans and first responders often grapple with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. By creating an environment that encourages warriors to discover their true selves, the organization can emphasize the connection between the mind, emotions, and inner essence, which in turn, promotes healing from the inside out. The Two Wolf Foundation firmly believes in utilizing captivating natural landscapes and the thrill of exploration to rekindle a sense of wonder, amazement, and appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us on a regular basis.

Grow

The Two Wolf Foundation hosts therapeutic retreats and recreational programs, allowing combat veterans and first responders to engage in outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and camping. These experiences foster camaraderie, offer respite from daily stressors, and provide opportunities for personal reflection and growth. There are five phases of post-traumatic growth,

Through collaborations with other 501(c)(3) land stewardship organizations and federal entities like the US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and US Fish and Wildlife Service, Two Wolf Foundation recognizes a special chance for warriors to get involved in promoting responsible access and use of public outdoor areas. Two Wolf Foundation utilizes its programming to contribute to ongoing conservation and land stewardship initiatives that aim to protect, preserve, and sustain US public wilderness sites.

The Two Wolf Foundation stands as a testament to the unwavering commitment and support provided to combat veterans and first responders. By fostering resilience, offering tailored support services, and advocating for their needs, the Two Wolf Foundation plays a vital role in enhancing the lives of those who have dedicated themselves to protecting and serving others.
