TRACK

TRACK says it's a program created to help wounded warriors train their mind, body, and sprite, but mostly it's a program that helps them go back to school. TRACK is the first education enter in the nation specifically for wounded warriors and is a 1 year program that helps wounded warriors meet academic goals. Which can range anywhere from an associate degree, bachelors degree, or vocational certificate. TRACK students must relocate to one of the two locations in either Jacksonville, FL or are own San Antonio, TX, all moving expenses will be payed for by WWP. They will enter the program as a group of 5-10 and continue through the program together, TRACK students must complete 3 stages to graduate from the program which are education, health and wellness, then work experience.

• Education- TRACK is an approved Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Program. The program pays all class fees, books, and a subsistence allowance, and all classes are provided by the Florida State College at Jacksonville and Alamo Colleges in San Antonio.The first 9 months of the program are dedicated to the educational aspects of TRACK, like classes, counselor meetings, and the tutoring programs
• Health and Wellness- this is the only part of TRACK that spans the whole 12 months, once you start the program a Health and Wellness coordinator will create a personalized fitness routine. The goal of this program is to help the students learn to balance their school and work while still rehabilitating and living a healthy lifestyle.
• Work Experience- once you complete the first 9 months of the educational part of TRACK you will then spend the last 3 months placed in an externship. The externships are provided by the may companies that participate in TRACK like ATT, USAA, and HEB. These externships provide valuable work experience in the civilian world

Programs like these are what make the Wounded Warrior Project such a great organization. They don't just worry about the physical aspects of retuning from the war with injuries but the mental and future careers of these men and women.
