OUR TEAM

Our success is a team effort

Our volunteers, staff, and mentors embody WQW’s founding spirit: service before self. Many are combat veterans themselves—bringing authenticity, empathy, and deep understanding. They are committed, experienced, and have high expertise. Our people don’t just deliver the program—they are the program.
