Episcopal students across three campuses will soon participate in Celebrating Service Day on April 10. The Beaches Campus will be partnering with K9s For Warriors this year. A pup-in-training will be visiting the campus to educate students on the program. Stay tuned for more details.
K9s For Warriors is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing highly trained service dogs to military veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and military-related trauma. Their mission is to empower veterans to regain their independence and improve their quality of life through the companionship and support of service dogs, most of which are rescued from shelters. By pairing veterans with these specially trained dogs, K9s For Warriors helps them navigate daily challenges, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and foster a renewed sense of purpose.
