Service To School and Team RWB are two veteran-founded, veteran-focused organizations that are addressing unmet needs of our returning service members and better enabling them to thrive within our communities. By leveraging the veteran network itself, both Service To School and Team RWB are generating tremendous outcomes.
Our combat veterans are invaluable not only for what they have done while serving, but for what they are capable of as leaders back in our communities. We owe it to them to help realize this potential.
Please consider the impact of a monetary donation and contribute to the cause. We would love the added incentive of tying a pledge to the number of miles we pedal this summer.

Service To School is dedicated to helping veterans reach their full academic potential by gaining admission into top-tier universities and leveraging GI Bill education benefits.
They connect applicants to a network of volunteer ambassadors--fellow veteran students and graduates--and also oversee the “VetLink” pipeline to admissions committees at several colleges and universities.
Your donation will help this organization continue to grow as they purchase an IT system, establish a marketing program, and expand their overall reach both among prospective students and universities.
Last year this small team oversaw over 150 successfully admitted veteran applicants. Service To School accomplished this with only one full-time employee, 100 volunteer coaches, and a limited budget. Your contribution will have a tremendous impact on this young, but quickly growing organization
"Team RWB’s mission is to enrich the lives of America’s veterans by connecting them to their community through physical and social activity."
This organization currently has volunteer veteran-run chapters in 187 communities, bringing together over 108,000 active members who regularly participate in physical activity, competitive events, and community oriented volunteer project work.
Your donation or pledge will help Team RWB obtain its goal of reaching over 200,000 veterans by 2018 through better marketing and more sophisticated IT systems. You will also be helping put on quality training for over 200 volunteer leaders, a crucial factor to scaling while maintaining the highest standards.
