What does it mean to be an Outreach Coordinator

Hi there! 

Wanted to give you an insight about what does it mean to be an Outreach Coordinator.

The official response for an Outreach Coordinator at Wounded Warrior Project is: To Assist Wounded Warrior Project's (WWP) Alumni program's efforts providing support, networking opportunities, and education to new and existing WWP alumni (wounded, injured, or I'll service members and veterans), and their families around the country at military treatment facilities (MTFs), military installations, and in local communities. 

So basically I represent WWP in any and all military installations, military treatment facilities and VA facilities nationwide where the wounded receive care and treatment. 

I work directly with Warriors and their families to assist in their recovery and transition process. 

I network, plan activities to maintain warriors engaged and help build camaraderie and family bonding. 

I also locate wounded warriors who have not yet had contact with WWP and introduce WWP's programs and services. 

I m the point of contact for WWP Alumni and their family members and refer them to appropriate programs, staff and other organizations as resources. 

This is just a short synopsis of what my job Intels, but it can sometimes be more than that as every warrior and every case is different. 

Being an outreach coordinator is a very rewarding job as you get to work with the warriors everyday and you see them thru their recovery process. 

Witnessing the life changing moments in the life of a veteran who suffers from an injury is priceless and I couldn't be more honored to have this job. 

Truly a blessing!
