What Comes After Service?
In Ukraine, an estimated 1.5 million veterans are learning what comes after service. More than 130,000 are living with war-related disabilities. For many, the challenge is no longer how to endure the unimaginable. It is how to find a place for themselves once the fighting stops.
With support from the Canada-Ukraine Foundation, Come Back Alive’s Veteran Program is helping veterans across Ukraine reconnect through adaptive sports. Thousands have participated in activities designed to foster connection and belonging, while coaches, physical therapists, and veteran leaders are being trained to expand these opportunities nationwide.
But the impact extends far beyond sport. 🎥 Watch to learn more:
What begins as a training session becomes a conversation. A conversation becomes a friendship. A friendship becomes a community.
Participants share ideas, support one another, and launch new initiatives in their hometowns. Together, they are creating spaces where veterans can connect, contribute, and lead.
As one participant explains, veterans know how to come together in times of struggle. Programs like this help them come together to build.
