“We need some extra income.” It’s a phrase that has been uttered in most every military home at one time or another. It is usually followed by “how” and “where.” Hope For The Warriors and Milspo Academy powered by CareerDash are attempting to answer both the “how” and the “where” for the military spouse and caregiver community by creating a partnership to help in the search for meaningful education and employment opportunities.

How to Model Resilience For Your Children
Spring means many things to many people. Warmer weather. Flowers blooming. Allergies attacking. For military families, though, there’s a totally different meaning: it’s permanent change of station time, that time every April and May when we receive orders for our next duty station.
Scholarship Gives Milspouses Hope for Future
When Hope For The Warriors created its Spouse/Caregiver Scholarship Program 15 years ago, it had people like Evanna Burgwardt in mind.
Burgwardt is the wife of a Green Beret. It’s a life she was unsure of when she first met her husband. Six years later, that life has made her stronger, more independent, and sure of herself. She believes that strength and confidence made her a better nurse in the past few years. She also knows it has been crucial in her quest to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).
Why Military Families Should Volunteer
There was a time I wanted a career in front of a camera, behind a news desk. That was before I discovered my love of serving military families.
Actually, I had accepted a job as a news anchor in Maine when my life took an unexpected turn toward military support volunteerism. My husband was working on his Ph.D. when the Navy recruited him—to borrow a line from the movies, “it was an offer too good for him to refuse.”
Building Connections with Dungeons & Dragons
With the world on lockdown from COVID for much of the past 18 months, an activity that pulls together players with similar backgrounds couldn’t have arrived at a better time.
For more than a year, Dungeons & Dragons has been part of Hope For The Warriors Team program, receiving rave reviews from those involved, both clients and staff members.
Managing Boundaries During Holidays
Boundaries. Maps have them. People need them (probably way more than they realize).
What are personal boundaries you may ask? They are expectations and needs that help you feel safe and comfortable in your relationships.
Expectations in relationships help you stay mentally and emotionally well. Knowing when to say “yes” or “no” is an essential part of feeling comfortable when interacting with others.
